Sarah Cass Kicking A**

Sarah Cass, the NY-based photographer with a Colorado area code, got a shout out on It's Nice That today - which is not shocking, considering her considerable skill at snapping indie acts in all their hipster glory.  The fact that her work has made it to one of the best creative-spotting blogs in the UK (I'm saying best because it's my favorite, and anything I say is golden [but I do share that opinion with a significant number of people]) is something that, these days, can speak as much to the legitimacy of an artists career as a review in the New York Times.

Obviously, there are different types of blogs, and getting written up in someone's personal online diary won't really add to your street cred. But the sites led by industry experts - people whose opinions are often read and valued by hundreds of thousands of people - are, as lamely dramatic as it sounds, really helping to shape futures.

Anyway, I bet Sarah's feeling glowy today. Some of that might even rub off on you if you look at her amazing portfolio, which includes most of the golden children our musically exploding city has been churning out.
