    Wouldn't it have been pretty easy to figure out who this girl was? Just call the hotel and ask about employee records.

    I love this book. I can truly say that it inspired me to become a photographer, although I've founf a lot of photographers don't like Frank because they think his photos aren't 'clean' (i.e. they're too blurry and grainy). I think its funny because that's what drew me to them.

    @Ack: I think the most true things about photographers that I've learned over my time shooting has been that everyone has their own opinion and preferences. My opinion? I love his style. And a lot of those that I've heard that don't tend to be people whose styles I don't dig, like extreme strobists or super-HDR fiends. There's a lot of love that I find in the simple, "unclean" photos, and it's something I often have trouble finding in other techniques.

    I adore that book. I really do. Things like this and like what I've seen all my life in National Geographic inspire my own work more than a lot of the over-processed nonsense I see online these days. I wish I had the means to use film, but for now, I do what I can with my little digital love.

    @wednesdayam: It's really such a shame that shooting with film ends up being so expensive, with the chemicals and darkroom costs, and everything else involved. I think there is something wonderful about the flawed nature of photographs developed by hand.

    God, I love that photograph. My photo that I use here is from The Americans- it's such an incredible collection. The Metropolitan Museum of Art will be showing all the photographs in an exhibit in September.

    I love that last line - "its not necessarily loneliness, it's dreaminess". What a great thing to recognize in yourself.

    My company used a photo of a friend and I for a tag of some kind, I can't even remember what it was for. But, I was in Mexico a few years back at some random store in Playa del Carmen and I saw the image being used on totally different product (handbags). I have no clue how they got it, or if it was the store owner or the manufacturer. But, it as weird to be drunkenly shopping and see my face hanging off a cheap purse.

    Not nearly as interesting or relevant as this story, of course :-)

    I wish someone would take an iconic, culturally significant picture of me. But, uh, not at work. I got that bored, there's-something-more-for-me-out-there expression down, but it wouldn't look as deep and affecting with my finger in my nose as I glance through a Vogue from two years ago.

    @LuvEwan: I think any iconic, culturally significant picture of me would involve my pajamas, a fleece jacket, slippers, and a vacant stare, with the glow of a DVR'ed episode of Supernatural bouncing off my glasses.

    It would speak to the hopeless, yet accepting, nihilism of thirty-year-olds in the early twenty-first century.

    This is awesome. It reminds me of a thread some time ago where girls found pictures of themselves on random products abroad. How interesting to bump into yourself as a piece of history.

    OMG can they give me a job?


    Wow, I've been on the job hunt for too long now. Could there be a subcommittee on "recently graduated from college and currently unemployed young women"?

    And we need to retire the term "special treatment" when talking about female advancement. Special treatment is getting into Harvard with a 3.0 because your dad funded the new library, not leveling the playing field for all.
