... pointless

http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2008/04/27/realestate/0427-HABI_7.html

I get that this slideshow is part of the Real Estate section and all, but is it really newsworthy? The Ludlow building opened up over 3 months ago. It seems to me that the photographer just wanted some filler piece and found it in this sad lady. Also, all of her anti-male gear, including the "men don't protect you anymore" sign, seem pathetic to me as we learn that she has recently been separated from her hubby. Her feminism has sprung from hatred rather than any real feeling of woman-power. Plus, all of these photos are of things that are already interesting. Could the photographer have done more creatively, or are there just no opportunities for interesting and new shots in real estate?

wow. that was pretty bad. i mean... a photo of a box with 'nice girls finish last'? i'd say it was a slideshow thrown together just for the heck of it, and yes, a filler for lack of anything better really. thanks for posting that... good to see what makes good and what makes bad.
