I don’t think an epidemic of walking and reading is breaking out, though I put up a similar picture last week. If you see someone reading a book, you assume the plot is compelling, but if someone’s reading the paper (here it’s the NY Times here), you think they are catching up on the news.
Strolling in midtown.
There’s a high school nearby, and it doesn’t have such a good reputation. When school lets out, the truant officers make sure the kids don’t get too rowdy with each other or the people on the street.
No photography is allowed inside the show, so this will have to suffice. MOMA intends this Bauhaus exhibition to be one of their holiday blockbuster shows. Just in case visitors don’t flock to see the work of the 1920’s German art and design school, there’s also a large show of filmmaker Tim Burton’s work. My advice – see both. The Bauhaus show is extensive and contains numerous unexpected pieces.
When you’ve got something that works, go with it. Cardigans, again, are in this year.
While the dark shape of the business man is dramatic, my eye is drawn to the young guy, his I heart NY shopping bag, desert boots, and afro. Then I notice the candy cane and Santa in the shop window. November in New York.
“I ordered some food a while ago? Just wondering where it is.”
“It’s ready, lady. On the way. Tell me where you are.”
“I’m on the corner! Wearing a salmon-colored quilted nylon coat! Can you hurry, please? I’m really hungry!”
It wasn’t this guy, though. There are many pedicabs, but few passengers; I don’t know how they stay in business.
Rarely seen, often talked about, almost never captured on film, the midtown yeti (also called the Manhattan sasquatch) is an urban legend. I’m honored to have taken this picture on a recent rainy day. Don’t be surprised if someone pays me big bucks and I disappear on a fancy vacation for a few days.
You notice Frank Lloyd Wright’s name is not on the front of this Lego package. Would the old codger ever be throwing a tantrum if he saw his museum turned into a child’s toy, especially one that bears little resemblance to the actual building! To me, it looks like an urban hotel.
