••• The New York Times recaps the Arne Svenson brouhaha, while the New Yorker not only spoke to Svenson about the project, it got to watch as he photographed his neighbors: “At 1:44 p.m., the mother ducked behind the curtain and leaned against the window. ‘Now, this is either hide-and-seek or it’s like Mom is going to have a breakdown,’ Svenson said. ‘Or she’s crying.’ He liked the ambiguity. Click.” (Hey, the New Yorker mentioned Tribeca Citizen!)

••• The New York Post tried to photograph Svenson from a neighbor’s window. (Um, just read this?) Of more interesting note: Svenson has offered to give prints to the subjects (I’m jealous!), and “Martha and Matthew Foster are demanding Svenson give up his negatives and stop selling the shots, according to [a] lawsuit. The couple found the photos of their two children, a 4-year-old boy and 2-year-old girl, in a blog item about the exhibit earlier this month.”
