The Disappearing Face of New York City Storefronts

Check out this great collection of images by jim and karla murray. The images in the Flickr set: The Disappearing Face of New York City Storefronts will be featured in their upcoming new book, "Counter/Culture: The Disappearing Face of New York City's Storefronts" coming out at the end of this year. Interestingly enough they also have a nice set of decaying Miami images here.

Below is a picture from that set in one of the many Hialeah, FL abandoned warehouses turned into street art gallery and shelter.

Jen Stark - constructed paper sculptures

A few months ago I photographed a bunch of art works for Jen Stark's Portfolio. They were easy to photograph because every angle offered interesting posibilities and compositions. Take a peek at her portfolio and if your in Miami she has a piece in a group show at Locust Projects.
