Peter Granser: Coney Island
by Ted Cahill
For a totally unique look at quintessential Americana from the other side of the pond, take a look at Peter Granser's witty and stimulating color images in Coney Island. Grasner, generally interested themes surrounding societal taboos such as illness and aging, turned his sights toward the mythic New York beach/amusement park where he interprets the decline and survival of the American middle class over 100 pages of sobering and entertaining photos. Available from 25 Books for $35.
Coverflow
by Josh Rubin
iTunes is great for keeping all your music organized but it's oddly lacking a visual browsing component. Sometimes you just want to flip thru album covers and discover an old favorite or even something new. Coverflow is tight little application for the Mac that presents a simple interface for searching and browsing your music by album cover. When you find something to listen to just use the built in controls to play thru iTunes. There's also a handy utility for finding and adding missing album art.
