New York City (at Pictory)

I just had to post this slideshow of NYC pics. It totally made me homesick, and is made up of some really awesome shots.

Pictory, btw runs weekly photo stories. Really nice stuff.

They don’t know where they want to go

It wasn’t all work work work last week in NY; I also had a chance to get inspired by art.

I went to an amazing exhibit at the Whitney called “Picasso and American Art” that shows how Picasso influenced many American artists — sometimes using a side-by-side view of the original piece and the pieces that were done in response. I am blown away. Some of the work was done almost a hundred years ago and yet it looks fresh and new.

I also have a new respect for Jackson Pollock. Truely. The layers of meaning and texture certainly spoke to me.
