No, I don't mean "cousins" like Christian Patterson has been using the word. I mean it literally. My Cousin, Willa Mamet has been taking pictures for some time and until her portfolio went up I didn't realize how seriously she pursued the art. Keep shooting Wills.
Check out this great collection of images by jim and karla murray. The images in the Flickr set: The Disappearing Face of New York City Storefronts will be featured in their upcoming new book, "Counter/Culture: The Disappearing Face of New York City's Storefronts" coming out at the end of this year. Interestingly enough they also have a nice set of decaying Miami images here.
Below is a picture from that set in one of the many Hialeah, FL abandoned warehouses turned into street art gallery and shelter.
There is a nice interview with Tod Papageorge in BOMB this month. I wasn't too familar with his work only of his leadership role at Yale's Photography program. I look forward to checking out his book. Its also always interesting to see another photographer's view on something so close to your own experience, in this case, Central Park.
