Wednesday night: Hell & Sante at McNally Jackson, Soho NYC

 

This just in from Richard Hell:

Tomorrow is the final reading/signing event I have scheduled for my new book Massive Pissed Love: Nonfiction 2001-2014 (the latest press for it is at Paper magazine).

At 7:00 PM tomorrow, Wed 18 Nov, Luc Sante - whose juicy, meticulous, and, as ever, piercingly put, new book is a study of the poor person's Paris, largely in the 19th century, entitled The Other Paris  - and I, will commence an evening comprising short readings by each of us, then a discussion with each other about our books, then a Q & A, then book signing.

The event takes place at McNally Jackson bookstore, 52 Prince St. in Manhattan. Their listing of it:

New documentary: Everybody Street (2013)

Godlis hipped me to this very interesting historical look at street photographers in New York City, Everybody Street.

From the film's site:

"Everybody Street" illuminates the lives and work of New York's iconic street photographers and the incomparable city that has inspired them for decades. The documentary pays tribute to the spirit of street photography through a cinematic exploration of New York City, and captures the visceral rush, singular perseverance and at times immediate danger customary to these artists.

Featured Photographers - Bruce Davidson, Elliott Erwitt, Jill Freedman, Bruce Gilden, Joel Meyerowitz, Rebecca Lepkoff, Mary Ellen Mark, Jeff Mermelstein, Clayton Patterson, Ricky Powell, Jamel Shabazz, Martha Cooper, and Boogie, with historians Max Kozloff and Luc Sante.
