Zeppelin by San Diego Air & Space Museum Archives on Flickr:
Haworth, England—the German Graf Zeppelin recently arrived in England and landed a humber of passengers from Germany at Haworth Airport, is seen surrounded by the dense crowd immediately upon her arrival on British soil. Shortly after this picture was taken, the craft, with a new complement of passengers, started on a twenty-four-hour air cruise of Britain.

quote 18:53:46
“ Color in the subway was different. I found that the strobe light reflecting off the steel surfaces of the defaced subway cars created a new understanding of color. I had seen photographs of deep-sea fish thousands of fathoms below the ocean surface, glowing in total darkness once light had been applied. People in the subway, their flesh juxtaposed against the graffiti, the penetrating effect of the strobe light itself, and even the hollow darkness of the tunnels, inspired an aesthetic that goes unnoticed by passengers who are trapped underground, hiding behind masks, and closed off from each other. ”
Bruce Davidson, from a New York Times Review of Books excerpt of the introduction to his book Subway. (Previously.)
