Been looking at his website and reading some of his columns.
And just ordered some of his books.

My world and my experiences are vastly different than his but reading his words and seeing his photos resonate some how with me.

A few month ago I saw an exhibition of his work, photos + text.

Interesting how he combined them.

He's a very good writer and a nice guy. I definitely recommend Open City.

I stopped reading his columns, he comes off as somebody whose self importance/absorption has begun to limit their ability to connect to reality.

This unfortunately is a common ailment of people finding popularity.

I picked up Strange and Known Things after reading an article of his and thoroughly enjoyed it. I'd be interested in seeing an exhibit of his, didn't realize he had organize any.
