This newsletter has everything. It takes on a single topic: an ongoing photo survey of the whole big apple, one neighborhood at a time. Check out this recent edition of Averne in Queens. The photos, those are where it’s at for me. There are words and historical exploration too. It forces the author to find the interesting and relevant in the random collection of scenes that make up a particular place. The photos engage in close looking, turning these everyday details into fascinating subjects. It’s an inspiring project: the scope is hugely ambitious and the author’s regular updates make the effort required visibly accessible. And it’s got a back catalog–reference photos from a decade ago. The author has been putting in the work for quite some time. Can’t wait for the book; I assume there is a book. Please, let there be a great big book!
