I’ve been a fan of the excellent Flak Magazine for years. The photography component of that webzine has grown into its own “photography blogzine” — Flak Photo. The site, edited by Andy Adams, features a new photo every day, Monday through Friday. The showcased works are always impressive. Worth a look — daily!

Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Bridge,
and the Web
Tuesday, February 27th, 2007
I really like what the Brooklyn Museum is doing with its online initiatives. There’s a myspace page, a flickr page, and very cool presentations of its digital collections. Of special note is the digital collection of the museum’s images of the Brooklyn Bridge, which is made doubly cool by its community page.
The above picture, which was submitted via a flickr group pool to that community page, was taken on August 14, 2003, when NYC (and other major parts of the Northeast and Canada) suffered a blackout. We walked over the Brooklyn Bridge to get home. What a walk! Made worse by the heat, and the fact that before we really embarked on the long journey home, we stopped off at a bar thinking we’d just wait it out, and drank a few too many. The owner eventually kicked all the patrons out of the bar, and by then, it was becoming clear that, well, the power might not get turned back on anytime soon. And so the walk home began. It was a long walk, and not a very pleasant one. But walking over the Brooklyn Bridge was pretty amazing.

Friday, December 8th, 2006Very cool site which features photos of what’s on the desks of various creative types — On My Desk (found via Loobylu.com).
IRL Project Update: Double Breakdown
Thursday, November 9th, 2006There was a breakdown, and then another breakdown, on the road with Je and V. If you’ve been following the project, please encourage Je and V not to quit! Send them a note and tell them to keep going! This really is a great project — it would be a real shame if it ended before it really got going. Don’t quit Je and V! Mend those frayed nerves, spend a little time apart, then go out and have some fun. Then get back on the road!
The “In Real Life” Journey
Tuesday, November 7th, 2006Je and V are documenting their journey across the US — from Brooklyn to California. They’re calling it The IRL Project. Through journal posts, photos, and video, readers can check in on their cross-country road trip as they meet online friends face to face, or, “in real life” — hence the name of the project. The IRL Project is being produced by SMITH and the social networking site Consumating.
