Great news: the terrific photo blog Streetzen, by the New York photographer who goes by Grant (I knew his full name at one put can’t remember it now), is now back open. He had shut it down under password for awhile, but now we all can peek again into his visions of New York City. Very interesting work, it is wonderful to see how he evolves and tries new ideas. Makes me wish I could immerse myself in that city too.

Also worth pointing out is Grant’s friend Ed Leveckis, who not only shares his pictures on another one of my favorite pure-photo blogs but is also the source for this news (through the great filter of Facebook): Leveckis. And while we’re discussing NYC photo blogs, M. Scott would not let me post without mentioning our old favorite Quarlo. We need more Quarlo. Come back Quarlo. Our only source right now, besides the wonderful archive just linked, is his Flickr Feed which he updates, as M. Scott says, about every sixth months. M.Scott reacts to each new picture like it’s Christmas morning.

And how could I forget our Serbian friend and NYC-based photographer Boogie, the original boogieman. Happy Halloween everyone.
