Get Out & Face the Rain

i met this guy once on the stairs in my old apartment , while he was stealing my Sunday newspaper—true story, who was wearing this 1970's-ish tweed 3 piece suit seemingly going to or from church with a thick mustache and, of course, my newspaper in his hands. I told him he had my paper. He pleaded innocent, about 5 times before telling me that I would owe him a dollar if I took it from him. I eventually shamed him into giving me my paper back. You know, I kinda wish I would have offered him some coffee and had split the paper with him instead. These posts could have been fodder for conversation between us. Or, maybe he would have just ignored me and asked for the Sports section back. I dunno, something to think about.

It was jovial — people were happy, clapping — and getting to a point where it gets a little boring as a photographer. And then we heard this explosion.” We spoke with with Boston Globe photographer John Tlumacki, who photographed the explosions at the finish line of the Boston Marathon. Read more on LightBox here.

Too Much Night, Again

Inspired by recent bouts of insomnia, Los Angeles based artist, Pae White, had created this huge network of yarn spelling out words that are only revealed when navigating the space.

Using 48 kilometers of material for this South London exhibition, Pae’s letters and words “TIGER TIME” and “UNMATTERING” emerge and dissolve depending on where to are positioned, representing the transience of our existence.
