A master of photography, New Yorker Helen Levitt has passed away yesterday in her home in Manhattan. Her 70 year career where she shot New Yorkers going about their daily life was influential, and she was among the masters of photography a la Henri Cartier-Bresson and André Kertész. One of her photos in which she has shot an overweight New Yorker woman in the phone booth with two of her kids on a sunny New York morning in 1988, is perhaps the first and foremost art object I’d buy. Don’t wanna sound like a creepy old fuck but in the age of trash photography another pillar has gone down, and I feel sad. R.I.P.

Two tracks from Eddie Gale’s Black Rhythm Happening, couldn’t choose which one to dedicate.
