20x200 photographer, Coke Wisdom O'Neal, was featured in the Times this week. The article did not appear in the Arts section, as you might imagine, but rather the Home & Garden section. Coke is succinctly described as "a fine art photographer who builds 22-foot-high wood boxes and shoots people standing inside them," yet the article is focused on the spaciousness and rotating cast of lodgers in his apartment. Coke enjoys an uncommon and enviable home life that reminds me immediately of The Royal Tenenbaums. You see, he lives in an Upper West Side vestige, the Apthorp, with his parents, his son, his son's mother (from whom he is split) a parrot, a dog, and two cats. Now what do you think of that?
