Vice Magazine's got an interview up with Enrique Metinides, whose entire life's work appears to be summed up with the phrase "in the right place at the right time."

Why can't I just have some fedora-bedecked news guy tell me, "Hey kid, stick with me and bring your camera and you're gonna go somewhere!" ? Anyhow, he's like Mexico's Weegee, but maybe better, if only for this, one of my favorite photos of all time:

Cop Action in the supermarket.

You can buy it for me for Christmas, or my next birthday. Start saving your ducks, though - it's gonna cost you $5 grand at Blum and Poe.
