Once a Month?

Forgot to publish this:

The editing is coming along more smoothly since I stopped editing the photos.  There were some very hard choices, but the cost of having them is prohibitive.  I will edit them when I send the finished book to the pros.
What I've been doing in other areas of my life: "Brothers Rico" at MoMA, Les Mis, the movie, Fiorello, Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf with Tracey Letts and Amy Morton, Luciana Souza and Romero Lubambo at the Jazz Standard.  And the Met to see the Matisse exhibit.  Couldn't take photos of the work in the exhibit but got some from other areas of the Museum.





My hand in it




And to the Salmagundi club to see my neighbor Carole Teller's work and some of the others

 Carole's work.  She won two cash awards at the last exhibit.








 Most of their art is what I would describe as American Realism.
The best was discovering George Bellows' seascapes at the Met exhibit.  A complete surprise and wonderful.

Holy Mackerel

I haven't posted since January 10th.  I'll list everything I've been doing.
MoMA to see "The Scream"
"Airswimming" at The Irish Rep.
"Il Trovatore" at The Met
Trip to Maryland
Birthday Dinner for Dottie with Dottie and Kathy at The Hurricane
"Fiorello" at City Center
"Otello" at the Met
"Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" on Broadway
Music at the Jazz Standard with Sandra 
Music at 54 Below with Frank
"Silver Linings Playbook" movie
"Donnybrook" at the Irish Rep
Concert performance of "Carousel" at the NY Philharmonic
Movie and dinner with Tom I think the movie was Someone to Love??

"The Big Knife" on Broadway
MoMA's exhibition The Invention of Abstraction 1910 1925

And the book, which is coming along.  Right now I'm planning an eBook with 50 photos.  Editing is the difficulty.  There is so much to the blog that I like but costs prohibit using everything.  About the list of what I've been doing, there is very little that I did not thoroughly enjoy.  I think now that some stress is easing I will be able to get back to writing here.
Some photos:
The Met is doing the entire Ring Cycle

The dining area and staircase at the Met


My favorite room at the Metropolitan Museum of Art


Some shots of Central Park




Times Square at Matinee Time

When did that building arrive

Last, evidence that we need more playgrounds or less people
