206 /
Thank you all for the wonderful comments and memories you’ve shared with me (both in last week’s comments and privately) about Bob Croslin. I also really loved reading Vince Musi’s post about him; the photos are pretty amazing, too.
And as I’m sitting here hearing about how it might snow again tonight, I’m also really thankful to Daylight Saving Time and False Spring. Both of which offered a little warmth and hope this week.
Here are 5 things I was looking at and loving this week:





L’dor Vador1 is Rachel Wisniewski's first monograph exploring the coming-of-age experience of Jewish girls through the quintessentially Jewish-American ritual of camp. Some of her work from this project was published by the Washington Post in 2003, but I’m excited to see a bigger, more personal edit, in her book. I just backed the book on Kickstarter. Let’s her get it published by pushing it over the line now.
If you love cycling and photography, you’re like finally… a doc on the Grubers.
You don’t hear publishers using ad time to encourage their audience to subscribe to other news outlets very often, but The New York Times’ A.G. Sulzberger just did.
Inspired by NPR’s famous “Tiny Desk Concerts” a Delaware mercado has created their own version called “Mercadito Concerts,” or market concerts.
Has taking the perfect photo ruined tourism? The Spectacle a contemplative documentary short by Yasmin van Dorp, shows places of uncommon beauty—along with the throngs of visitors who clamber to see them and, crucially, take photos. Without any commentary, van Dorp’s film offers the opportunity to enjoy some breathtaking scenery but also to ask what we give up when we focus so intently on documenting our time in such special places.
If like me, you want to know the meaning of things… L'dor vador is a Hebrew phrase meaning "from generation to generation," signifying the transmission of Jewish traditions, values, and history from parents to children.


Vince uses words as well as he uses his cameras. Bob would agree. 💪🏼👊🏼❤️
