Hot of the Virtual Press
The new issue of Just Above Sunset, the weekly magazine-format site that is parent to this daily web log, is now online. This is Volume 4, Number 16 for the week of April 16, 2006.This week it's five extended commentaries on current events, from the week beginning with the immigration controversy still hot, then the move to more pressing matters of the week, the upcoming war with Iran, maybe, if it's not already underway, to the revolt of the generals and all the implications of that, to the national narrative changing and the press waking up, or something.
Our Man in Paris, Ric Erickson, editor of MetropoleParis, sends a short item with photos from New York, of all places, covering the massive rally in lower Manhattan of all the immigrants, legal and not, and their supporters, saying it sure would be nice to be real Americans. (Then he flew back to Paris.)
There's also one of those infrequent arts columns, some comments on the one hundredth birthday of Samuel Beckett, and the celebrations in Paris, and the lack of notice in Hollywood.
The photography, Easter in Hollywood, and for the pagans, mythological beasts on Melrose Avenue, surrealism on the Sunset Strip, and some nature shots - palms, water studies and the usual botanicals.
Our friend in Texas gives us more of the weird of course, and there are quotes pertaining to this revolt of the generals.
And there are links to two more photography pages at Just Above Sunset Photography.
