It's been a while since I've checked in with Orsinal, but I noticed a new game up there. tea. Cute mice and jazzy music. Who could ask for anything more?

How much is that picture worth?

Since I seem to be on a roll about photography at the moment, I thought I'd link to this NYTimes article about the business of photography in the art world. Unfortunately, I don't think any of my snapshots are going to be worth $1.3 million anytime soon. And would htat I could have afforded to buy Gursky's Prada II, 1997 back in the day. It would have been a steal!

Diane Arbus at the Met

Speaking of photographers having shows in museums in New York City, the Met is hosting Diane Arbus's Revelations. "This retrospective exhibition, the first in more than 30 years, presents the artist's signature images—such as Child with a toy hand grenade in Central Park, N.Y.C., 1962 and A Jewish giant at home with his parents in the Bronx, N.Y., 1970—as well as previously unpublished photographs and writings drawn from the artist's archive" I saw this show at LACMA. Definitely workth checking out.

Larry Clark at ICP

Larry Clark has a show going on at ICP at the moment. And I was just flipping through a copy of Tulsa the other day. You can read more about the exhibition here, though I really wish people would stop setting knock out type on dark backgrounds when there's so much text. It makes my head swim. Here's a link to a NYTimes article about the show.
