Facing the world

 
 

There's a wonderful exhibition of photographs of New York children, one from each of the countries in the UN, currently up at Park 51, the Muslim cultural center-to-be near the World Trade Center. Photos of photos are unsatisfying, I know, but the way Danny Goldfield's photos are arranged, each cluster a little fireworks display of nationalities but also of moods and actions, is a big part of the pleasure.
