A collection of photos taken during the past month by HILOBROW’s Josh Glenn. Also see the SCREENSHOTS series; and see HILOBROW’s Instagram feed.
Probably an accidental snapshot. Context: My father recently announced his intention of getting rid of nearly all of his (thousands of) books. So I went over to his house and rescued a box of paperback adventure novels…
Doodle dashed off during a teleconference with a blockbuster A/A videogame company for whom I have recently been doing some very enjoyable semiotic work.
There’s something absurd about marketing ice; the absurdity of branding itself is revealed in such efforts. I’ve taken many photos of ice signage. This particular sign can be found in Macy’s Liquors, downstairs from my office.
Dour selfie taken just before joining quite an enjoyable Zoom meeting.
I got rid of my vinyl LP collection in 1986 — as I was headed off to college. Since then, however, a small and wildly random assortment of LPs, EPs, and singles have re-attached themselves to me. Now playing: A heavily scratched (mostly unlistenable) copy of Closer with stained sleeve. Someday soon I’ll throw it out. Maybe.
Found art installation at Beacon Theater, NYC — where Max’s NYU Gallatin School graduation was held. #thertofnoticing
Inadvertently psychedelic snapshot of our friend Kristin P. at fundraiser dance party for Boston Arts Review. When we weren’t dancing, she and Susan and I crawled into a chill-out zone adjacent to the dance floor, and watched people’s legs.
Tattered remnant of a DIY Covid-era effort to get people waiting in line (outside a store that sells Catholic school uniforms) to space themselves a safe distance apart.
