Myrtle Avenue E: photographs from the personal collection of Patrick Cullinan »
I lived in Fort Greene, Brooklyn at the corner of Vanderbilt and Myrtle Avenue for nearly two years but it was only when searching for old images of subway maps for this poster that I learned about the Myrtle Ave El.
Kolmanskop is a ghost town in southern Namibia, a few kilometres inland from the port of Lüderitz. In 1908, Lüderitz was plunged into diamond fever and people rushed into the Namib desert hoping to make an easy fortune. Within two years, a town, complete with a casino, school, hospital and exclusive residential buildings, was established in the barren sandy desert.
But shortly after the drop in diamond sales after the First World War, the beginning of the end started. During the 1950’s the town was deserted and the dunes began to reclaim what was always theirs.
I have a weakness for ghost towns like you would not believe.

This is one of the funniest ads I’ve ever seen.

Photographer James Mollison shows us 40 straight-on mugshots of various species of apes. Together, we can see the physical differences in, and dare I say, variety of personalities?
