For 25¢, you could drive your car for 5 minutes through the Auto Wash Bowl at 2 locations in Chicago. The 16 in. deep water in an 80 ft wide 'bowl' would wash off mud & manure as the cars drove at 10 mph.
This photo is from 1924, at a time when most roads outside city centers were unpaved.

I was a bit shocked when teaching how many of my students had these large gaps in their film knowledge. They'd watched a ton of 80s stuff, a good chunk from the 60s, but very few foreign films, nearly nothing from the 90s-00s except for Tarantino. Distribution's worse since the advent of streaming

The more classic films I watch the more references I can see in other films and by the time I am old I will be very knowledgeable and also completely insufferable

Vivian Maier was one of the greatest street photographers of all time.
In all the years I taught photography I always stressed the importance of narrative as well as the visual design elements needed to make an image sing.
Vivian was a genius storyteller.

ICE policy requires the use of bodyworn cameras. Video should be available from every agent who was involved in the death of a citizen in Minneapolis.

The lesson of January 6th is that it does absolutely no good to prosecute the the violent foot soldiers if you're not going to prosecute the leaders and hold them accountable for their sedition under the full force of the law.

Opinion | With Sátántangó and Werckmeister Harmonies, Béla Tarr became the vividly disquieting master of spiritual desolation — The Guardian
The Hungarian director’s films moved slowly like vast gothic aircraft carrier-sized ships across dark seas, giving audiences a feeling of drunkenness and hangover at the same time
