After inheriting a bird-watching telephoto lens from a friend, New York-based photographer Arne Svenson embarked on an intriguing and voyeuristic project, The Neighbors, capturing little stolen moments of the residents of a glass-walled apartment building across the street from his NYC studio. The resulting images are small movements and quiet details; they are the moments when noone’s looking—until now.
The Neighbors opens May 9 at Julie Saul Gallery in New York and will remain on view through June 29, 2013.

Thank you!
An Adventure
1.
It came to me one night as I was falling asleep
that I had finished with those amorous adventures
to which I had long been a slave. Finished with love?
my heart murmured. To which I responded that many profound discoveries
awaited us, hoping, at the same time, I would not be asked
to name them. For I could not name them. But the belief that they existed—
surely this counted for something?
—Louise Glück, from “The Adventure”
The world is a hellish place, and bad writing is destroying the quality of our suffering.

I like to think that he was talking about Bukowski.
