Bernie Sanders in New Haven on Social Media

 

The Green was partitioned between people who went through metal detectors, and those who freely stood at the far side of the flagpole. 

Bernie Sanders went to Willoughby's on Chapel earlier that day for coffee. 

He also toured neighborhoods with Gary Holder Winfield, a state senator in Connecticut.

Residents Talk About Regret on #ILNH

I Love New Haven, the pro-active social photography blog of Chris Randall and Jeffrey Kerekes, this week is featuring a series of interviews and audio with residents regarding a simple and perhaps personal question:  "What is your biggest regret?"

The responses vary from everything containing responses regarding not finishing college, getting involved in substance abuse, having children at an early age, or not meeting their spouses soon enough.  As a way of getting to know New Haven, this stands out as an excellent way of familiarizing residents of the city with one another in a public but personal way.

There are 7 total portraits and interviews and each one is less than a minute long.  Many of the answers are only a sentence long.  We'd like to hear Chris Randall ask a more upbeat question in the future; or to answer his own before inquiring of the broader community about it, since surely the subject matter itself was probably originated by some kind of introspective moment.

Here is the link to that full article.  You can also help send Chris and Jeffrey to Kentucky by contributing to their IndieGogo campaign.  They hope to attend a workshop there.

Little Ghosts at Institute Library

I love New Haven history. I love photography, and it's evolution. I love ghosts, but not the big ones. Yesterday I visited the Little Ghosts exhibition at the Institute Library and I was blown away! Around 150 years ago, Chapel Street between State and Church was peppered with photography studios that specialized in portraits of that era which predates DSLRs, SLRs, Range Finders, and even the Kodak Brownies and celluloid film of the early 1900's. These guys had the photography world on lock!

Little Ghosts displays many 19th century portraits taken at the various studios which lined Chapel Street, not far from the gallery of the Institute Library in which they currently hang. The show is curated by Lisa Kereszi, the Acting Director of Undergraduate Studies in Photography at the Yale School of Art, and also contains pieces on loan from the New Haven Museum.

This Saturday, April 20th at 3:30pm, Lisa Kereszi will give a talk about her exhibit at the Institute Library, 847 Chapel Street 3rd Floor. I'm sure that will be a very cool talk!

Little Ghosts will be up until May 4th and viewable M-F 10am-6pm, and Saturdays 10am-2pm. It's definitely something that people should check out. It's a really fascinating combination of New Haven history, photographic history, and cultural history.
