The New York City Photobloggers are opening their first gallery show tonight at the Chrystie Street Gallery (167 Chrystie, between Rivington and Kenmare). Word to the wise: bring sunglasses, because there's going to be a lot of crazed photobloggers running around with giant flashes. Some of our favorite photobloggers are in the show, including Eliot Shepard, Rion Nakaya, David Gallagher, and Joe Holmes (disclosure: one of us has a couple of prints in the show).

Craigslist is great for a lot of things- selling a TV, looking for an apartment, browsing for a new job, or trying to track down that hot girl or guy you saw on the 6 train. However, it is not without its problems. For one, lots of the listings get clogged with crap, and its hard to know who is a reputable seller and who is a scammer. For another, its hard to sell services. Say you are a top-notch web-designer, or the greatest masseuse in Williamsburg; if you wanted to sell yourself on Craigslist, you'd have to enter a new listing every couple of days, and hope people saw it before it got knocked off the page by people selling other stuff.

Though the MTA has been a bit of a pain lately, Gothamist loves the subways and even enjoys our commute (when we have stuff to read, when we don't have to unduly transfer extra times, when we aren't pressed up against the population of Rhode Island in a train car). Travis Ruse has put together a photoblog of his commute, Express Train, to capture his Park Slope-Grand Central journeys.

If you like photography or photoblogging, check out the Pinup Redux Show opening at Jen Bekman's gallery tonight. Prominent photobloggers Eliot Shepard, Laura Holder, and our very own Jake Dobkin have each put in a few pictures. If you are a collector, prices are $600 and under, and 10% of the proceeds go to Teachers Count.

Gothamist was talking to Mike from Satan's Laundromat about the matter. He says the police think subway photography is illegal anyway, and Gothamist thinks this is confirmation that the MTA view hipsters, gadget geeks, photobloggers, and tourists as city security threats. At least of Laura Holder's oeuvre is in danger! One critic huffs that if photography is banned, then drawing might be next. Ack - then no cool drawings like these from Danny Gregory.

Gothamist checked out the Bruce Davidson show at the Hermes Gallery.

It was a great night at the SoHo Apple Store last night, with the NYC Photobloggers Exhibition. Not only did we get to see the photographs of clarsen, slower, Bluejake, Laura Holder (above), Infrangible, rion.nu, Satan's Laundromat, 990000, and lightningfield, we also got to more about their respective starts, processes, and favorite subjects - a nice sampling of different outlooks on photoblogging. Additionally, Anil spoke about Six Apart's Typepad (and demonstrated its moblog potential by creating one of the evening) and Adam and Scott explained the beauty of fotolog.net and its community building aspects. Thanks, photobloggers and friends!

Gothamist loved this photograph from Rion Nakaya's rion.nu because it reminded us of one of our favorite films, but there are other fabulous photographs to be found on the site. Rion and other photobloggers will be speaking at the New York City Photobloggers Exhibition, on Thursday, February 26, SoHo Apple Store.

From the photographic stylings of Laura Holder, whose two sites, lauraholder.com and fotolog laura titian, keep Gothamist busy. Laura and other area photobloggers will speaking at the New York City Photobloggers Exhibition, on Thursday, February 26, SoHo Apple Store.

It seems the Times doesn't feel right if they aren't covering the phenomenon of blogs. This week, the Arts & Leisure section has a cover feature on photo blogs. Writer Sarah Boxer does a little exploring, and discovers some photo bloggers that also happen to be favorites of Gothamist: David Gallagher's lightningfield, Eliot Shepard's slower.net, Todd Gross's quarlo.com, Laura Holder's fotolog.net/lauratitian, and the site, fotolog.net, which was started by Adam Seifer, Scott Heiferman and Spike. Congratulations, guys.
