Longmont road sign ‘hacked' for second time on Nelson
On Sunday, a digital road sign on Nelson Road was hacked to display the message 'BOOBS PART 2,' just two weeks after a sign on the same road was hacked to display the word 'BOOBS,' according to a city of Longmont spokesperson. The first vulgar message was removed within three days in May. Following the first incident, the city said additional security measures were in place to prevent it from happening again. The second inappropriate message was removed Sunday. 'We were made aware of the inappropriate message on the sign on Sunday morning, the 8th. The owner of AAA Barricade (Traffic Control Company) was contacted, and they took immediate action and remotely changed the signs within the hour of being notified,' city spokesperson Rogelio Mares wrote in an email to the Times-Call. As of Friday afternoon, the hacker has still not been identified, according to Mares. The act is classified as vandalism. These are not the first incidents of their kind in Colorado — an electronic road-construction sign on Boulder's Foothills Parkway in 2011 displayed the message 'zombies ahead.' .

The big picture: Clark Winter on the road in Beijing
It's 3.35pm in Beijing and everything is happening. The wide street, bathed in slanted afternoon sun, is filled with traffic. We are in the back seat of a taxi, paused at the mercy of the traffic controller atop his tiered stand, like a figurine on a wedding cake. The edges of the road are clogged with cyclists rushing towards and away from us, but mostly what we see is cars, cars and more cars, including the interior of our own. The four-wheeled automobile is the subject and the vehicle, so to speak, of American photographer Clark Winter's Here to There: Photographs from the Road Ahead, which chronicles three decades of road life across the US and beyond. As a youth, Winter was offered a rare place to study at the prestigious Rhode Island School of Design under American photography luminaries such as Aaron Siskind and Harry Callahan. Realising he wanted to know more about the world before fixing it with his lens, he instead took an entry-level job at JP Morgan, who funded a year of education in finance and then sent him across the world to learn about global markets. He took his Leica with him. In black-and-white and colour, he takes us from the landscapes of Ohio, West Virginia and Indiana to the streets of Madrid, Rome, Pisa, Palermo, Paris, Mexico City and Beijing. Rather than seeking out particular images or motifs, Winter prefers an open curiosity – to look carefully and see what catches his attention. 'You don't know whether it's your intuition or something beneath the level of your conscious perception, but a tiny bell goes off in your head and you listen to it,' he once told Life magazine. In Traffic Control, Beijing, China, as in many of his photographs, the windows, doors, angles and purviews of the taxi act as frames within a frame, directing our vision this way and that, like the traffic warden beyond who orchestrates the road. The rear-view mirror ingeniously catches a fellow passenger, who also has a camera and sees yet another view. Here to There. Photographs from the Road Ahead is published by Damiani (€50)
