Traveling Light

I really fetishize traveling light. In the summer that means leaving my apartment with no bag and no coat. I'd die if I had to wait 20 minutes for a subway at night with nothing to read, so I rip articles out of the New Yorker. Their small text and thin pages make them an ideal magazine for this purpose. Some cool photography related links: Bogota - Dog Days, by Alec Soth, recently seen at the Whitney for his Sleeping by the Mississippi. Large Format Photoblog. Roark Johnson is taking a photo a day with his 8x10 view camera and posting them to his website. Coincidences. A really good photography related blog where I found the two links above.

Graffiti Trucks

I'm glad the tradition of painting moving vehicles with graffiti art lives on. I think it would be a neat idea to commission well-known graffitti artists to do up certain subway cars. I'm sure it will take 20 years, at least, before such idea would be palatable to the MTA, if ever. Some Books: Subway Art, Broken Windows

And the Village Voice has a new logo on their street boxes with faux-graffiti. A good summary of point-and-shoot vs. single lens reflex digital cameras. National Magazine Award Finalists [with links to many of the nominated stories]

Bronx Zoo

I went to the Bronx Zoo on Sunday for the first time. I really enjoyed watching the different primates.

PS1

On Saturday I went to PS1 with Luc and his friend Peter. They had some larger pieces from MOMA's Dieter Roth show that wouldn't fit in MOMA QNS.
