when his neighbor man ray offered him a new rolleiflex camera, he declined, explaining that the machine worked faster than he could think. until his death, atget's sole instrument was his glass-plate view camera with a short-focus rectilinear lens, a wooden tripod, and a few plate holders.

is it necessarily an honor to have a shrivelled stretch of 29th street at broadway named after you?, i thought as i saw "vincent peale way" on the street sign. because you kind of shoot your load once you have a street named after you unless you're martin luther king, jr., in which case one street in all cities is named after you, and if not, then that city is racist. if you blow your name on a crappy street, well then. also, i don't like when takeout places give you meaningless choices. the place where i can get rice and beans if i walk home from work, they ask if i want them together or separate, like in separate aluminum dishes or in one bulging one. it's the same amount either way, surprise me.
