I love photo books and have spent hundreds of hours staring at them since learning they existed at the bard college library about a decade ago.
But I’m not sure I’ve ever been so emotionally affected by anyone else’s work. His new book “Failing“ completely floored me and his first book “A Period of Juvenile Prosperity” is almost as good too.
Dark shit tho be prepared

the hallmark of any vacation book - somehow getting it wet by the pool and fucking it up
really loved this book. ive been a fan of keith's writing (mostly his instagram captions) for a while now and i'm glad I took a stab at this.
i finished it in 3 sittings - very rare for me - and i walked away with a much deeper appreciation for visionaries like keith. it's brutally honest, quite sad, clever, and had me smiling throughout. the way he describes his approach to dreaming up restaurants, and the twists n turns of his career, left me feeling inspired.
need to try more of his NYC restaurants beyond balthazar, any recs?

Brutal. Honest. Unflinching. Ugly.
You can’t look away, but there is love beneath it all.
You’ll either read this in a scorching mad dash or slow it down for more of a controlled burn, either way you will come away changed.

🍔they do not need to know. they don't need to know. they really shouldn't know. just keep your head down and your mouth shut and keep it pushing.

the best and easiest to access archive of free movies I've seen on the internet. this google drive folder has thousands of films and basically covers the entire history of tasteful, cool, and/or groundbreaking cinema. there are deep cuts like Abel Ferrara's debut feature - 9 Lives of a Wet Pussy (a porno from 1970) - and classics like Barry Lyndon. There's hundreds of random DVD extras, a bunch of licensed stock footage, curated collections in folders like "Male Manipulators" and definitely a lot of stuff I haven't figured out yet. It's kind of an unorganized shit show in there but you gotta dig through dirt to find gold, so just shut up and grab ur shovel. I wish I found this when I was a teenager because it would have changed my life.
