I was going to say Come to Chicago! then I remembered you are in NYC. My favorite? MOMA. I could visit that place every day. Ok, I am only saying it probably because I cannot!
I love museums- all sorts of fun to be had there.
Somehow the way you said it makes me think your FUN is a lot more fun than the one I had…
Are you a photographer in another life? These photos are awesome!

Thank you! The secret really is in massive CROPPING and picnik.com.
I am a total dult and LURV the boys and the Y’s and the reflection of the gorgeous photographer:) Great pics!!!

You flatterer!
God, I miss living in a Real City with Real Art Museums. That’s way at the top of my Why I Hate Living Here list. (And people wonder why I overdose on art museums when I go to Europe. Or any other American city other than this one. *sigh*)

You. Me. Date night. Here. Deal. Done.
Call me a glutton ’cause all I want to do is shove a giant piggy cupcake into my mouth.
Unknown Mami´s last [type]…I Comment Therefore I Am
Yup. My thought as well.
I love it! This photo lay out for your Sunday in your city is really creative and the photos are really nice too!

Yes to all of the above.
Life with Kaishon´s last [type]…What did we do today
Thank you. Really. Your loving my photograph means a lot to me.
Someday I’m going to be near somewhere that has a real museum that has real art in it doesn’t have the words “early americana” in front of it.

But you would not have been able to take all those cool pictures esp. the ones with the strippers in the forest!
My favourite ones are of the staircase as well…my mom was a professional photographer, and some of your photos remind me of her work…thanks for making me think of her!

Thank you for the compliment! And it’s really cool that your mom was a professional photographer! Would you be writing/blogging about her works some time?!
That’s a neat idea, Lin…I’ll think about it for the anniversary of her death, which is coming up in September. It would mean unpacking some stuff that we’ve had in storage, but it needed to be done anyway…thanks!
Wendy
Wendy, I am very sorry for your loss. Sometimes I speak without thinking. *hangs head* I hope I did not make you too sad. {{{hugs}}}
my favorite works are the ones not appropriate for children. that sign says, “welcome” to me. also i spy your face and that makes me happy!

lovely photos. i don’t get art but always think it looks so cool. way cooler than me. which is probably why i don’t get it…
hope you had a fabulous weekend.
Tiffany´s last [type]…Awesome sauce the sarcastic kind
Thanks! I gave up on understanding art or trying to pretend that I do. I also decided that it is ok to say a certain piece of art work is stupid if you don’t like it. But don’t tell my kids that! LOL
OMJ, I loved 12yo’s favorite! The Chicago Mud Circle is wonderful. You do have a great eye. That staircase is a work of architechtural art. LURV the masterpiece at the end.

And my fave is “Here’s Looking At You, Kid.”
I see so much work in this post. The medium is the message and I thank you for this one!
Nance´s last [type]…The Great Impastor
Thank YOU!
I adore museums and you’ve just made me remember how long it’s been since I spent the afternoon shuffling around, gazing at old favoites and looking sideways at new pieces. Fantastic pictures and it’s great to see your smiling face!
Oh and PS: if you ever change that adorable Gravatar/Thumbnail of yours with the pigtails and glasses I’m afraid we’re going to be divorced! Love it!

We are in this Catholic marriage so we will never get divorced, m’lady.
I love the MCA, but you took it up a notch with your pics (esp of the stairs – keen eye indeed) and my favorite part: the accompanying blurb with each picture. Hilarious. As usual.

You actually read the captions??!! Ok. You don’t owe me any drinks any more. I owe you drinks. Lots of it.
You are really a very good photographer. These are great!

Thank you so much. *blush*
Love this collection of photos and your captions, priceless! The “Y” shots made me giggle and that staircase was stunning. Hey, and you even got yourself in the shots a couple of times. Awesome stuff.

Thanks! I am trying to see whether I can actually optimize my Nikon and take some “artistic” pictures.
