For So Many Reasons Today's Issue is the Isht!!!!

Okay. I'm not usually one to ride the tip of a major media outlet, but for many reasons that might not float to the surface for you, today's issue of the NYT is really incredibly incredible- but credible all the same.

Just from our little lens, here are a few items in today's issue of note:

The cover photograph of a lone Japanese woman returning briefly to a post-tsunami, irradiated, evacuated, ghost town for gosh-knows-what....snapped by Sergey Ponomarev

The posed but fantastic DKNY ad of the man and woman in an embrace atop a car in midtown traffic..it's the stuff of realistic fantasy

The horror of an abandoned farm near the Fukishima Daiichi nuclear plant in Japan, caught by the lense of Kosuke Okahara

The feature story and lovely photos the rebirth of of Ebenezer Baptist Church

Seeing one person, no doubt a fall guy for so many guilty others, Lee Farkas in cuffs and prison stripes in Bruce Ackerman's photograph.

The JUSTICE of a Real Madrid player dropping the Copa del Rey trophy from the upper story of a two story bus- which then ran over the trophy! (tee, hee) mid-air trophy fall snapped so viciously by Kiko Huesca! NOW THAT'S WHAT YOU CALL RAAAAAAAD!!

Mike Hale's review of Donnie Yen's Return of the Fist

Jeannette Catsoulis' review of Suzanne Taylor's, Crop Circles

The sheer Oakland A's-osity of green and yellow in the ad for the film, Win Win

Neil Genzlinger's article on how Isabella Rossellini trains Labrador puppies to be good guides for the blind

The handbag design in the Incendies movie ad (i'm breaking out the serger, sewing machine, wacky fabric...and doing a repro' of that bad boy...)

Niel Young's flick by Darrren Hauck for Getty Images....with the exceptionally cool reference to Scottish folk singer Bert Jansch

Robin Williams on stage in Moises Kaufman's Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo in a cage of branches in a photo by Richard Perry

The lovely Picasso's in Joshua Bright's photos from the Gagosian Gallery (my favorite, "Femme Nue Couchee" (1932) wow.

East Village Cafes.


All this taken in, while having the most divine coffee you can enjoy at the moment in Berkeley, California- Cafe Local 123

(heavy sigh of veg-out bliss.)

Enjoy the weekend, y'all, while i go back to the grind of grad school and teacher prep awaiting my Amy Winehouse, 'Frank' LP.
