The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

Seeing old bowling alleys makes me nostalgic for my youth
I think we went bowling a total of three or four times as kids
I wonder what that means

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice.
KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond.
His reply was a doozy.

I was admiring how the late afternoon sun was glinting off this orange lettering and wouldn't you know it--this guy in orange glasses walked by. I asked for a photograph.

A wonderful read on creativity, ego, seeing, and how expressing yourself changes over time. I love Arnold's description of how photographing and editing engage two different parts of the brain and how those can interact with each other to create better work.

The street photographer speaks about New York City folklore, stepping away from Instagram, and his shifting priorities as an artist.

Springsteen's Nebraska is the reissue that didn't need to happen. There are a few curiosities but it mostly made me want to put on the OG record again. It makes the project less interesting: Part of the allure is the stripped-down tape recording. Adding the alt versions erases the mystique.
