Looking at looking at art
I was looking through some old photos the other day and found some images that I had completely forgotten about! A few years back, I took a trip to New York City for a jazz music conference. While I was there, I went to get a fix of NY art which, of course, led me to the MOMA, one of the greatest art museums in the world. While I was there, I saw lots of people taking photos of the artwork which was extremely annoying. So many people using flash photography, I couldn’t believe it!
Since you can get beautiful postcards and books with all of the paintings in them, I decided to shoot a handful of photos (without flash!) of people looking at the paintings. It seemed interesting at the time.
While I was there, I was also lucky enough to view the incredible 11 Spring Street building. It was truly an amazing display of street art.
