Discovering the Artistry of a NYC Photographer
Via BoingBoing, I read this interesting article in the Smithsonian about the discovery of Eugene de Salignac's work.

Nice to see the Sopranos get one last award (I suppose they'll be up for Golden Globes in the Spring also). Here's the full list of winners and nominees.

I have to admit, I've hardly read, listened to or watched anything. Help a brother out.
