Yesterday, a couple of people hipped me to this terrific site of Hy Peskin’s photography.

Go, you won’t be disappointed.

From the New Yorker’s Photo Booth blog, dig this gallery of Sam Shaw’s photography:

This site is just too cool.

Thanks to the Duck Dog for pointing out the facts.

Last night on the uptown IRT, packed train, rush hour. As we approach 181st Street, the conductor says, “I would advise the passenger who is smoking to get off at the next station. The authorities have been notified.”

I’ve seen people smoke on the train before, kids used to love smoking blunts in the last car back when. Mostly, anyone who smokes on the subway is furious or crazy or both. But to do it on a crowded train? That takes chutzpah.
