New York Trip
Brian Atkinson and I took several photography, as well as a couple of graphic design and illustration students to New York City last week. It was my first time to NYC and I had a blast. Hopefully Susan can come with me the next time we go out. We visited several museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Guggenheim, the New York Public Library, and several photography galleries (although I wish we would have had more time for gallery visits). We also visited a photography studio and Brian took some students to Design studios.
Some highlights of the trip for me include the vastness of the Metropolitan Museum of Art (I had no idea), the two exhibitions at the New York Public Library we stumbled upon (Baldus - a favorite photographer of mine & an exhibit of Cliche Verres - you may have to be a photo history geek to appreciate it, but it was great), and the Post-Civil War photographs by Alexander Gardner in the MOMA.
Anyway, it was great. I had some great pastrami sandwiches, some good NY Pizza, and way too much cheesecake. Here are some random photographs from the trip.

I heart NYC. MOMA is fantastic -- it took four trips to NY before I finally made it, as the thing was under construction for two straight years. Next time make sure to visit the Guggenheim (start at the top), and the Cooper-Hewitt.
Oops. You did make the Guggenheim. Then next time, visit, uh, Hoboken. Jersey, baby!
Did you go to ICP? Nice trip. Looks like you had fun.
Fun pics. I'm looking forward to when I get to go.
So fun. I wish I could have gone with.
That sounds fun. I'll have to do some museums if I go again.
Luuuckeey!
Happy Birthday Darren!!
For a min. I thought that art show was one of yours. He frames just like you! I'm glad you had fun. I really like NYC too.
Mike, Brian took some of the students to the ICP, I was doing something else. Maybe next time though.
Makes us want to go back. Pretty sure things have changed since we lived back there (almost 40 yrs); actually they were just preparing to build the Twin Towers then. Great shots.
I am so jealous you got to go to Central Park and see Freidlander.
What a great trip. I'd have to take you with to understand all of that!
So what was that something else you were doing??
How fun!! Great pictures.
