Being cool while staying cool

By JOSH ROBINSON

After yesterday’s post on uniforms, I was inspired to hit another clothing theme for today’s Seeing in Shorthand edition. (Also see Nope vs. Hope from earlier this week)

More specifically, I want to take a look at what people wear in public when it gets warm — and how I translate those images into words to form my visual shorthand.

    About Me

    My journey in the media business started with a journalism degree. Since then, I've produced hundreds of TV newscasts and online news packages; earned a couple of Emmy Awards; interacted with fascinating subcultures (local TV news viewers; online commenters); and learned curious dialects (Southern; corporate). In May 2010, I finished a master's degree at NYU where I continued exploring visual storytelling. Which brings me to this blog, Take Five. The idea is pretty simple. Each post will include five photographs* I've taken on a theme that interests me. Because of the self-imposed brevity, many of these themes will be incomplete and will benefit from amplification. So, please add to these themes by taking five yourself and dropping links to your photos in the comments section. *On occasion, this format will vary. Sometimes, I will include just one photo (Single Take) or will stretch the idea of Take Five over the course of five days.

    What I'm Up To

    More Photography

    In 2009, I won a photo contest called Eye on the Strand which was sponsored by Aperture, Pratt and the Strand bookstore. You can see the winning photo on the contest Web site.
