A very interesting article in today's New York Times discussing the pending shows of Mike Disfarmer's portraits. The slide show is great.

If that incredible address does not work, it's in the Arts section.

Florence Foster Jenkins (http://www.members.iinet.net.au/~dwomen/files/nlFeb704.html), "She was a legend in her time zone."

The article is down a little ways on the page, but what's absolutely great is that there is a link to a clip of her singing!

Disfarmer's work, to my mind, is absolutely amazing. You really have to look at some of the right stuff. It's completely insane - in a very subtle kind of way. He was arbus and joel peter witkin all rolled into one - before either of them existed.
