Surf’s Up
While most eyes will be on Yankee Stadium in October, earlier this fall Nike’s Bowery Stadium played host to Dark Sun, an exhibition by photographer Ari Marcopoulos. For two weeks, the MKTG-designed space was adorned with black and white pictures of New York’s burgeoning surf scene and wave-shaped sculptures that doubled as skate ramps.
Check out this Cool Hunting post for more details on Marcopoulos and a full write-up on the installation.

The Art of Adobe
Photoshop & Cool
Smile, we’re on camera! Event Marketer this week took special note of the Photoshop & You pop-up space that MKTG produced for Adobe in San Francisco earlier this month. The experience, located in the former HANG art gallery, celebrated the art of photography through antique-camera collections, how-to sessions and workshops, and neighborhood photo walks.
Train Pain
Close shave
Think your commute is bad? Have a look at the poor sods on this Tokyo commuter rail. Noted photographer Michael Wolf’s new series, Tokyo Compression, captures Tokyo commuters on their way to work — pressed flush against the windows of their packed subway cars. Even the glass sweats.

Seeing Chicago
The work of a great street photographer can give you a new view of a city – even if you have lived in that city your entire life. Robert Frank, William Eggleston and Henri Cartier Bresson are famous for giving us unique views of fleeting moments in New York, Mississippi and Paris.
Recently, a Chicago man came across a cardboard box full of undeveloped film at an estate sale. He is slowly developing the film and posting the images on a blog. His discovery is the work of Vivian Maier (1926-2009), a street photographer whose photographs of Chicago have never been seen until this year. Thanks to a chance discovery, we now have a new way to view Chicago.
