Yesterday I tripped into the City to take care of a few things. Of course the trusty camera came along for the ride.
Even though it was a bit chilly the Spring sunshine made for a wonderful day out and plenty of sights to see.
Here's a few to share .....
I also found time to catch the AIPAD show at the Park Avenue Armory. It was interesting if a little on the "stodgy" side. Mostly traditional photography and quite a lot of material that has been on show for the last 4 years that I have seen it.
I think some of the dealers could do with a little dose of "outside the box" to liven up the event.
Some good eye candy nonetheless and who am I to argue if boring sells for $45,000 per PRINT!!
We also stopped to have dinner at David Burke Townhouse before going home. That definitely was NOT boring and would have to rate as one of the BEST meals I have EVER had in NYC. Quite well worth several weeks of grocery money for the experience. Totally and utterly delicious!
Today has been cold, wet and rainy on Long Island. Perfect for a bunch of DIY and clean-up chores before we host and open house tomorrow.
Yep .... it's all GO!
Do you not LOVE a great meal that is truly transporting? I think that's one of the best experience investments in life, and not simply because it tastes good.
I think the 'sitting' image is my favorite, but seriously... what you do with reality. I imagine working up a whole Alice In Wonderland version of reality just with the photographs I have in my desktop folders now. FUN.

Sounds like you had a large day in NYC. Fun shots of what you saw and enjoyed. Can't imagine the kind of prices being asked for art, phew!
And you're moving! That will be a big change not to mention the whole process of packing and moving. Good luck!

Good Luck with the Open House (last time we moved, we were out of the place before there were any Open Houses and I much preferred it that way). I love your New York photos. It fuels my plans to go there sometime this year or next (haven't been in close to 30 years). Are you going to live close enough to commute in occasionally?

Great shots! I wish I lived close to NYC...talk about photo opportunities. I've visited briefly twice, and loved it. Thanks for sharing your day!
