Vegevision!
We owe that awesome headline to Brooklyn artist Ranjit Bhatnagar, who sometimes uses the term for his flatbed scanner images of Greenmarket produce, a project he’s been working on since 2000. His carrots graced the cover of Edible Brooklyn’s Spring 2007 issue, and selections from his scans–lovely little sprays of garlic chives, slices of okra that look like stars, and of course, bacon–are being shown through the month of December at the Baby Grand (world’s smallest) karaoke bar in a show called Greenmarket Scanography. For those who’ve been to this tiny Soho spot on Lafayette St., you know the key component of that name is Baby: This is but a sliver of a space, and thus Bhatnagar’s work, like others previewed at the bar, is being shown in slide format. Literally–the slides, shown below, are displayed on the wall, lit from behind, and viewed using the provided magnifying glass. Oh yeah, should you miss the show, you can see some of his recent work on Flickr, too.

Keira and I are starting a new daily photo project, inspired by Minty Forest. Each day, in San Francisco and in New York, we’ll look at Merriam Webster’s word of the day and let it influence the making of a photo. We won’t share our pictures with each other until they’re both posted side-by-side. Please take a look at Don’t Wiggle!
clickblog, an Italian photography blog, had a nice little post about my produce scans project. (Here’s an automated translation into English)
The project continues, with 263 fresh & all-organic images so far.

My photo “ong island ail road” accompanied a story in The Morning News today.
The Long Island Railroad is New York’s lifeline in the summer—a fleet of rescue vehicles destined for the beach. For some, though, it’s also a means to find freedom. EMILY MEG WEINSTEIN reports from every station down the line.

MONUMENTAL MOMENT
A playful approach to Tatlin’s Monument
When I heard the title of Flux Factory’s latest show, Response to Tatlin’s Monument to the Third International Conceived in the Mood of Ambivalence, or R.T.T.M.T.T.T.I.C.I.T.M.O.A. for short, I thought I was going off to see a ridiculous, pretentious show full of highfalutin communist propaganda.
I’m happy to report that I was completely wrong. [...]
