Adam Tyson is a novelist, photographer and video jockey whose work includes slide show installations like this photo collection, "500 Fotos." I'm drawn to this compilation's seemingly random succession of images that reflect things both familiar and foreign. The technical quality and composition feel accessible, as if I am looking through snapshots in someone's personal photo album, and the way the music comes and goes takes me back to the days of cassette tapes, when one song ended and then tape rolled for a couple of seconds before the next song started (something modern ears are unaccustomed to). Many of the images draw me in to the action, arousing my natural curiosity about people and my attraction to eclecticism and the energy that I have only ever encountered in urban centers.
