I don't know if this was made by the restaurant or by a crafty traveller, but this snapshot came wrapped around a souvenir matchbook (hence the crease) from the Bull Pit Barbeque in Glendale, CA.

I had the great pleasure of meeting Zoe Strauss at her excellent Chelsea show this weekend. I've wondered how she approaches her subjects but when you meet her that combination of toughness and sweetness makes you understand. And she had such nice things to say about my own work (which she knows from flickr)! She's really awesome and if you don't know her work you will. Anyway I was inspried to approach this woman who I saw on the bus. "May I take your picture Miss?"

Board-Directed Coup Topples Chelsea Hotel’s Famed Manager Stanley Bard

The breaking news at New York’s famed Chelsea Hotel is that managing partner Stanley Bard, and the rest of the Bard family, have been forced out by their board of directors. Starting Monday, an as yet unnamed new management company will take over the day-to-day operations of the hotel. The beloved Stanley—everyone calls him by his first name—has been in charge of the hotel for over fifty years.

It was he who fashioned and maintained the unique creative dynamic of the hotel, presiding over the sixties when Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen wrote some of their greatest songs here, and Andy Warhol filmed the famous Chelsea Girls. Since then, nearly everyone who’s anyone in the New York art, music and writing scene has lived here at sometime or another, including Patti Smith and Robert Mapplethorpe, Madonna, Dee Dee Ramone, and more recently Ethan Hawke and Ryan Adams. Stanley has always managed to keep rents low for the creative people living here, most of whom—unlike the stars listed—don’t have much money, but all of whom are just as important in maintaining the famous Chelsea spirit.
