Storytelling
Holden Caulfield's New York
From The New York Times:
Before he went into seclusion in New Hampshire, J.D. Salinger, who died on Wednesday at 91, had a deep relationship with the city, having moved from Harlem to the Upper West Side to Park Avenue as a youngster and later to East 57th Street. As our colleague Clyde Haberman noted last year, the city itself was a character in “Catcher.”
So “Catcher” could almost serve as a guide to the city of a certain time, a city that has been lost forever, but still somehow exists: dark, enigmatic, grown up.

The Mexican Suitcase
You're looking at one of the greatest treasures discovered in this century, Robert Capa's "Mexican Suitcase". Long thought lost when Capa, the globe-trotting war photographer archetype, fled Paris as the Nazis entered the city, the carboard suitcase contains 4300 negatives shot by Capa, Gerda Taro, and David "Chim" Seymour during the Spanish Civil War. Seventy years later it resurfaced in Mexico City. More of this fantastic story can be found here and here.
