just a brief walk...

back to the subway from MOMA, and there were so many things to see.  I really miss the sensory overload that you get EVERY day in the city.  These shots I wanted to break down into shapes and textures though, so I desaturated them and let the grimy city shine through!

wish tree...

A week ago would have been John Lennon's 70th (!) birthday.  As a huge admirer and fan of his, it was a pretty reflective day for me.  I often wonder how the world would be different if he were still alive.  I really wanted to make it to Strawberry Fields that day, but was unable to make it.  I was  pleasantly surprised to see one of Yoko Ono's wish trees at MOMA the next day though.  At least I got a little bit of John during the weekend.

On these trees, guests are asked to write down their own wishes, and attach them to the branches of the tree.  It's a sight in itself, all of these beautiful white tags, each holding the wish from people all around the world.  I immediately grabbed my camera upon first glace, and had a field day.  It was super crowded, but I got a few good shots!

photo inspiration: art.

This Sunday I spent my day exploring MOMA, and became really inspired by this piece:




This piece by Liam Gillick really made me stop and take notice. I really don't find it necessary to take pictures of other's works of art, but I just had to grab my phone for this one. I don't think there's anything as striking as words on a wall, and the irony behind this really got me. Plus, I like that he used the word "super."

This piece can be found on the second floor of MOMA in the contemporary att galleries.
