(May 26) One theme that may or may not be apparent here is that I’ve been photographing a lot of controversies. This exhibit became controversial within days of being removed after having been installed months ago, thanks to the presence of a piece representing someone portraying themselves as Che Guevara.

viva la controversial public art installations!
“Che Guevara”

The image of Che is still controversial it seems.
You’d never guess this given what a pop culture symbol his face had become.

hail!
“Caesar”

(May 26) I got off the 1 at the Christopher Street, Sheridan Square station. The rule I’ve been working from is to stop and photograph whatever public art I find in the station, whether it’s a planned stop or not.
