The work of Vivian Maier, who died in 2009, leaving behind 100,000 negatives that no one but she had ever seen. The photographs are being hailed as among the best in 20th-century street photography

Are the NYPD’s Stop-and-Frisks Violating the Constitution?

I helped make these!!

That stops-per-seizure chart, we don’t even…

Spring which only gives.

Lite-brite memory. Donna Summer should have been singing “Upside-Down” in the background. (at Lil’ Frankie’s)

Light Bulbs, 2008

inkjet print, 72 x 96 inches

Depicts 320,000 light bulbs, equal to the number of kilowatt hours of electricity wasted in the United States every minute from inefficient residential electricity usage (inefficient wiring, computers in sleep mode, etc.).

Loved this.

First the drought came for the corn, then the fireworks, then the butterflies, then the steaks…

The worst US drought since the 1930s is still not over.

This is genuinely scary stuff.

I have no complaints…and let me say it.

Rain makes roots under the stone. (at Tompkins Square Park)

The god kids and me. It always feels like a celebration to me when I get to see them!
