Life’s a Beach by Martin Parr.
If you’re in New York, Life’s a Beach opens next Wednesday, May 15 at Aperture Gallery. Even more exciting is that Parr is hosting a “beach party” at the gallery on Saturday, May 18th from 9 - 6 and will be shooting portraits on a first-come, first-serve basis to those who sign up ahead of time and have a confirmed time slot (or day-of if there are slots still available), and cost $400.

New York Arbor by Mitch Epstein.
I used to walk by this particular tree every day when I lived in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn and always thought it was an oddity.

Two of my favorite images from Subway by Bruce Davidson.
I just got the Aperture edition of this book and it’s stunning. Real beauty comes out of the grit and filth that was the New York City subway system in 1980. If you’re looking to buy someone a photo book for the holidays definitely check this out.

From the MTA:
In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, MTA New York City Transit employees partially dismantled R32 subway cars and loaded them onto trucks to transport them to the Rockaway Peninsula. The cars will serve as special shuttle trains that will travel along the peninsula. The shuttle will allow New York City Transit to partially restore A train service while crews continue to rebuild the A train’s tracks across Jamaica Bay. The tracks were heavily damaged during the hurricane.
