This article about Amy Arbus' photography comes on the heels of this trailer for a movie about the life of her mother, Diane Arbus. Interesting to learn about one photographer one day and her daughter the next.

UN Assembly Opening

by natecooper | Sep 18, 2006 | cities, culture, nate, politics

Yesterday I read up on the UN because I found it remarkable that no matter how many times I've visited New York I've never been to the grounds. My Friend Layla and I were wandering around looking for something free to do and so I suggested we go to the UN building...

New York Versus Los Angeles

by natecooper | Sep 16, 2006 | cities, culture, los angeles, nate, new york

"New York, rising high, eliminates its pas with a wrecking ball; Los Angeles, spreadin out, broods over its history until it rots." I liked this quote from David Denby's review of The Black Dahlia. Perhaps the only sentence David Denby's written that I've enjoyed.
