Print Fetish Returns

Hey folks, it's been a while. But let's get back to it!

Photographer Bruce Davidson's penetrating 80's NY Subway portraits

I'm utterly fascinated by the Carson Mag drama. Everyone is an Ass here it seems. And of course, the magazine is just terrible .... just terrible.

Get ready for Glossed Over's Vougue Liveblog tomorrow, August 24th.

New Releases from PF Favorites:

Ongoing: The BMW Guggenheim Lab is a kind of pop-up laboratory to explore ideas and issues around urban life. There are tons of events and talks and things to check out, go look at the calendar. I'm interested in the toxicity tours of neighborhoods as well as the urban design stuff, the movie screenings and the bicycle fixing. BMW Guggenheim Lab, Houston Street at 2nd Ave. Through 10/16.
