That was really interesting. For those hesitant to click a blind link, it's an in-depth look at this famous photograph and its place in history.

This channel is pretty eclectic, but one of the fun things they do is Art Trips to particular cities. Detroit is a recent example, there are lots of others. I'd love to see the Guardian Building, I love Pewabic tiles and ceramics.

Excellent shortform photographic analysis, both formally and within a wider critical and historical context. Vivid and humane: more of this, please!

That was excellent.

I thought Ewald looked steely and very determined -- perhaps even a little dangerous -- rather than "nervous" -- but the analysis was really good, and I have no good reason to think I'm right and the narrator wasn't.

John Green is such a likeable man.
