I hung out with Johnny Misheff last night after the Ryan McGinley thing. Real cool guy.

from postcardsfromyomama via my friend Annie who sent this to me accompanied with the note “SOUNDS LIKE YOU!”:

And how are you today? I have a question for you. . Dad wanted me to ask you about the blog boy you know in DC. How does he make money writing a blog? Dad would like to do this too and wants to know how. Your friend has a job doing it so maybe he knows. Does he make a lot of money? It sounded like he did, if he has his own apartment!

Dad’s tired of working at Schwab

I don’t think anybody should be quitting their day jobs. Unless your day job is blogging. In that case, quit that shit.

Gothamist publisher Jake Dobkin totally nailed it in a Tweet he sent out just a moment ago.

There’s not a whole of useful information about the first ever New York Photo Festival available on the event’s website beyond the obvious. It’s going to be held in DUMBO from May 14-18. It’s curated jointly by Martin Parr, Lesley Martin, Tim Barber and Kathy Ryan. It involves four shows, all kinds of awards and things, lectures and various other proceedings. It’s going to be great is my point and now I have one more reason to look forward to it; I’m going to be in it. Tim Barber is including a picture of mine his show for the occasion, “Various Photographs.” So that’s pretty special, right? There will be more information at some point, probably. I’ll pass it along.
