Misc.: October 2005 Archives

Reader Thomas Moore has put together a group to collectively roam the streets of Chelsea and see great photography with their own eyes. There's a Yahoo! group set up to discuss an itinerary, timing, etc. Sorry for not posting this sooner, but I'm in Helsinki and the jet lag is killing me.

I'm between books. One of the perks of living in NYC is my 45 min of uninterrupted reading time on the subway each morning and evening. About 50% of what I read is photo history and theory, but I'm at an impasse on what to pick up next. (Mean ing I'm too lazy to go beyond my Amazon recommendations.) So I throw it out to you guys - what should I pick up next? Leave your suggestions in the comments and I'll post the best of the lot next week. Here's a partial list of what I've already got under my belt:
