Thursday, December 7.
There are apples, and then there are apples.
And this would be the latter. In fact, apples really don't come much bigger. If this particularly large apple were a nation-state, it would have the tenth-largest economy in the world. Which is pretty good, for an apple.
But this is New York City, after all, and its reputation precedes it. Sometimes described as the world's most important city, sometimes as the capital of the world, it truly is all things at once. It is defined by its fevered, electric pace of life. A global city in which 800 languages are spoken, it is a cultural, historical, sporting, and political superpower. It is, famously, The City That Never Sleeps. Better still, it enforces a right-to-shelter law ensuring, in the legislature, a bed and roof for anyone who needs one, regardless of immigration status.
Today it transpires that #new york is trending. A lot is going on, so take your time. Enjoy it.

The mansion was demolished in 1927 and replaced with a 'luxury' apartment building...

Today I discovered a mid-century photographer called Philippe Halsman who photographed the famous people of his era, from Richard Nixon to Marilyn Monroe. At the end of his sessions he would ask the person to jump into the air for a picture, believing that this would cause them to drop their pretenses and public persona, leaving him with a picture of the real person as they made their leap. He called this ‘jumpology’.
This is the photo he took of Robert Oppenheimer in 1958, possibly the most free and unreserved image of him that I’ve ever seen.
