Have finally been hanging a few things on the wall, and this is a note-to-self about how best to do that in our current home. I’m more used to either plaster over masonry (UK) or more modern drywall and studs (US), but our apartment in an old Brooklyn brownstone is mainly plaster and wood lath over masonry. Very crumbly old plaster, surprisingly dense lath, and very little void space between the plaster+lath and the masonry. Hanging something is more art than science and requires a good…

I bought a Camp Snap digital camera that emulates the film camera experience. There’s no viewscreen, it’s point and click, and the camera takes 8MP shots. The only difference is I don’t need to send the film out to be processed. The cost of processing two rolls of film covered the cost of this camera. I am very pleased with my experience with this camera for the first 12 hours of owning it.

It being a perfect autumnal morning, with warm sunshine, blue skies, and just a touch of freshness in the air, we took ourselves off to the Terme di Caracalla for a Cultural Quickie®. The primary purpose was an exhibit of photos by Frank Horvat but the ruins of the baths are themselves always worth a visit. The Terme has a unique approach to photo shows, mounting large prints, made specifically I’m sure, on both sides of a free-standing transparent block of plastic. How they stand the heat, I…

"He could not face the prospect of looking at what he had shot yesterday." A documentary film about the prolific American photographer. As a film this is pretty straightforward and takes a roughly chronological look at Winogrand’s works, those that were revered and those that were reviled. The talking heads are well chosen and it gets the balance right between painting a portrait of the man, and discussing his photographs. What’s interesting about Winogrand is that unlike say Vivian Maier, he…

There’s several YouTube channels of photographers asking beautiful strangers on the streets to take their portraits. Staged or not, I find them entertaining. I recently saw this one where the photographer asks this woman, “I don’t know if you’ve noticed this beautiful backdrop here?” which, indeed, it is. Having said that, it’s hilarious that the entirety of his photos were shot like this:

I hate to damage this mint sketchbook by scanning, so i was careful. A 1946 incription is from Lieutenant Fulton in memory of Gladys 1946. Someone this skilled at that particular time probably had to make lots of gifts like this gorgeous booklet. The circumstances are unknown here and I wasn't born then, of course, but the horror and agony of war strikes me. i hope anyone seeing this bows their head and realizes the complete futility of war, something we seem to forget every ten years or so.…

Collect Pond House – New York, New York I’ve certainly photographed converging buildings and a big open sky. I’ve shot plenty of those in Austin, now that we have a half-decent skyline. However, this is slightly different. While not super tall, a mere 12 stories or so, the density and visual heft of these stone buildings create a substantial urban canyon. The comparison is quite apt. Imagine that in nature you saw sheer stone cliffs like this on either side of you. It would be an impressive…

Anyone who follows this blog will know that David and I have visited the Cinematek in Brussels many times to watch movies and take frame enlargements for our many projects. Indeed, we started way back in 1979, long before the blog was started in 2006. Belgium may be a small country, but its holdings of films from all over the world and every period since the beginnings of cinema are immense. I have often said that we could not have written Film History: An Introduction without the hospitality…

Long time no Pokras. It’s been a while since our last encounter, and I am glad to cover his new giant piece again.Pokras Lampas writes cities into existence — this time, in two languages at once. The calligraphy artist has spent years scaling up letterforms to architectural proportions, but the rooftop of Barkli DAN Residence demanded something more than spectacle. Here, Russian and Tatar interweave across 177 square metres — three concepts, six words, two languages — each stroke a negotiation…

Photo by Christobal Zanartu Sheila Hicks is a major global artist, one of the women who moved textiles from the world of craft to the world of art. Born in Nebraska in 1934, she started art school as a painter but became fascinated with weaving on a trip to Peru. In the course of her life, she has collaborated with weavers in India, Japan, Sweden, and other areas known for their distinctive weaving techniques. Her art is held by major museums and adorns public spaces, such as the famous textile…

I recently updated nycdogs, a data package for R that I originally made for teaching purposes. It bundles up New York City’s dog licensing and dog bite datasets into an R package. The data is already provided by the city in a directly usable way (as CSV files), but packaging it up makes it easier to integrate with other packages and get things moving a little more quickly in class. The nyc_license table looks like this: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 nyc_license #> # A tibble: 819,323 × 12…
