The New York Times has a tremendous tumblr called The Lively Morgue.

From Mail Online:

Almost a million images of New York and its municipal operations have been made public for the first time on the internet.

The city's Department of Records officially announced the debut of the photo database.

Culled from the Municipal Archives collection of more than 2.2 million images going back to the mid-1800s, the 870,000 photographs feature all manner of city oversight -- from stately ports and bridges to grisly gangland killings.

I miss you, New York.

Beautiful photography by Naz Hamid (via Wilson Miner)

Wow, you can actually own photographs taken by Stanley Kubrick (via Daring Fireball).

Fine, they might not be gelatin silver prints, but they're museum-quality and limited edition.

I'd like to welcome Bryan Larrick to Daily Exhaust. I owe him for catching many of my typos and grammar errors over the years on this site.

In addition to being a gifted front-end developer, he writes on a variety of topics on his site, Missile Test (he's got a penchant for shitty movies). He's also a pretty awesome photographer.

He scores extra points for the fact that shoots with analogue film on a Holga, a Minolta SR-T and a Mamiya.

Bill Cunningham New York, a film by Richard Press:

The "Bill" in question is 80+ New York Times photographer Bill Cunningham. For decades, this Schwinn-riding cultural anthropologist has been obsessively and inventively chronicling fashion trends and high society charity soirées for the Times Style section in his columns "On the Street" and "Evening Hours." Documenting uptown fixtures (Wintour, Tom Wolfe, Brooke Astor, David Rockefeller--who all appear in the film out of their love for Bill), downtown eccentrics and everyone in between, Cunningham's enormous body of work is more reliable than any catwalk as an expression of time, place and individual flair. In turn, Bill Cunningham New York is a delicate, funny and often poignant portrait of a dedicated artist whose only wealth is his own humanity and unassuming grace.

I love documentaries, I love photography, I love New York, and this looks great.

I also have this photo posted at JPG.

I've finally gotten around to setting up a Flickr account and I love it. Now comes the job of uploading 5 years worth of digital photos and organizing them.
