The husband went to New York City last month for work and I promised myself that I’m not even going to gripe here about not being able to join him. Damn that–okay, no griping.
I’ve always wanted to see New York. Blame it on all the movies and TV series that had it as a scene-stealing backdrop. So when P got home, it wasn’t the bag of DVDs or bags he got for me that I immediately went for, it was the memory sticks in the camera that I wanted to see. While he unpacked, I think I spent hours looking at every single photo he took around the city.
I particularly liked the photos of the Museum of Modern Art and not just for the amazing or intriguing artwork, but how people were drawn to them (or in some cases, ignored by them).
Who can blame him for taking a break by the bed
Wonder what she was looking at
Starting them young
Hanging around
Getting sucked in
Man and woman
Pollock and women
Very nice post! Can i ask you Who is the artist that Made the photo of the bed?
Hi Laura, thank you. I have to ask my husband re the photo of the bed. I hope he paid attention, hehe. Will get back to you
Hi Laura, unfortunately my husband can’t remember the name of the photographer who took the bed photo. Even an online search didn’t help, eep.
I found it! He is Gonzalez Torres!Thank you for the inspiration
That first picture looks like an example of serendipity
while the fifth one with that creepy Escher-esque hole reminds me of Alien.
You’re absolutely right about the bed photo
and now that you mentioned it, the hole is reminiscent of Alien hehe…

@Zannyro Suzanne, thanks for dropping by
The bed photo is my favorite (probably because I’m a lazybones).
It’s my favorite too (fellow lazybones) and I love it that P got a photo just when the guy happened to lean on it
I can’t believe a world traveler like yourself has not been to New York
I’m looking forward to NYC updates directly by you one of these days! It’s beautiful here in NYC anytime of the year (I’m biased) but Fall and Winter are very festive and gorgeious.
Great blog, btw – I look forward to your updates from the phillipines and other asian excursions since I don’t get there very often!
I don’t think I can consider myself a world traveler just yet, going to New York though would have pushed me in the right direction, haha! I really, really want to see NYC and I do wish (all fingers crossed) to go there in the future and get to write about it.
Thanks for visiting and for the kind words
Also, really appreciate your blog for all the awesome posts on New York!
Thanks!
