http://antarcticiana.blogspot.com/2014/04/tropical-camouflage.html

A Brooklynite on the Ice. At the beginning of What We Don’t See. We would scarcely be able to see our own hands in front of our faces.

On her last day in Green Bank, I asked Katharina whether, after a year spent in the company of electronically tormen...

http://antarcticiana.blogspot.com/2014/09/on-streets-with-camilo-j-vergara.html
A Brooklynite on the Ice. On the Streets with Camilo J. Vergara. We hurry back up the sidewalk and across the street. On the east side of the Avenue, stretching for two full city blocks, is a wall of blue-painted plywood fencing, marking an enormous construction site. It is as if a huge tree has been felled in the forest, so that along the north side of 132. Eerily, like Knipl, who Katchor created years before the two met, Vergara's daily routine is to go out into America's cities with a camera and take ...
