"ARTISTS: DON'T MOVE TO NEW YORK!"
ACCORDING TO
PATTI
SMITH
Musician and author Patti Smith had some sound advice for fledgling artists thinking of moving to New York: don't.
According to Vanishing New York, in a discussion with writer Jonathan Lethem at Cooper Union this past Saturday, Smith was asked if it was possible for young artists to come to the city and find the path to stardom that she did.
In response, Smith told the crowd, "New York has closed itself off to the young and the struggling. But there are other cities. Detroit. Poughkeepsie. New York City has been taken away from you. So my advice is: Find a new city."

New York based fashion photographer Jonathan Leder is still using film when taking photos, and I must say, his portfolio is amazing. There’s a consistency in the feel and look, but within that he manages to show off an amazing versatility. His work has been featured in magazines such as A4 Magazine, Nylon, Sleek, and Mirage.

Irina Werning is obsessed with finding peoples old pictures and doing a photoshoot that mimics the old photo. She’s pretty damn good at it too! It’s amazing how many of the people in the photos look pretty much the same as their baby pictures. It sort of reminds you that you are always a kid at heart…sometimes at least.
Nobody can deny Werning’s incredible knack to capturing the original photo, along with the correct wardrobe, scenery and facial expressions. She’s already worked on 2 projects with her “Back to the Future” series and she’s starting a new one. This time around she’s scouting for people in places like Berlin, Paris and New York City.

Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable - a most sacred right - a right, which we hope and believe, is to liberate the world.
