David Golann











Photographer (and friend of mine) David Golann launched his new website. I know I'm biased, but it's really good stuff.

Secret Photo Club








Last summer I participated in a photo swap organized by illustrator Nicole MacNeill. Sixteen of us spent a month with a disposable camera, and then sent it off to another member of the group to develop and share. It was nice, for once, having so little control over the results. By the time I mailed my camera, I couldn't even remember what I'd taken pictures of.

These are some of my favorites from the roll I sent to Gerard Brown.

101 Spring Street



 








Second, third and fourth photos by Elizabeth Felicella via Design Observer
The rest via Curbed

Donald Judd bought a five-story building in SoHo in the late '60s - when the neighborhood was disused warehouses and a few artists' studios - and moved in. Earlier this month the Judd Foundation opened his former home and studio to the public after a three-year restoration by Architecture Research Office. It looks (unsurprisingly) amazing! Appointments to visit 101 Spring Street are sold out until mid November, the last month the building will be open, so get your ticket now! Like, NOW!

You can read more about the building in an essay by Judd himself, here.

BRIGHT LYONS





Photos: Brian W. Ferry

My favourite photos from Brian Ferry's shoot of Bright Lyons on my very last day of work. Anyone who's visited the shop knows it makes an amazing overall impression - kids were constantly and forcefully pulling their parents through the door before they realized we sold furniture - but the details were partly what made working there fun. Even before it was photographed, that stack of Picabia books hanging out on Paul's desk was probably one of the nicest things I've seen.

Bruno Munari mask-making workshop




I don't usually re-post stuff, but these are pretty fantastic.
