a new york minute

i just found this in my draft folder....

i just got back from NYC late last night. there is so much to say. the trip was AMAZING, i love that city. it was such a busy week, and there is still more to explore. i am still on east coast time so i'm a bit jet lagged - but i will try and get some thoughts down for now.

i could have spent the whole week in the museums. we went to the Met, the Guggenheim, and MoMA. ahh. museum overload - but i wanted to soak it all up. this trip made me realize how much i love picasso. and while i understand that it's the trendy thing to be all "Picasso is my favorite, i like his blue period best" - i cant deny the fact that his paintings have a serious effect on me. here's me and picasso:


which brings me to another thing: they let you take pictures INSIDE THE MUSEUM. whha? when did that become the norm? another reason i love New York. either the Portland Art Museum has never impressed me to the point of photography, or they arent so welcoming of the flash. hmm.

ok - i am exhausted, but i will try and write more soon. this is just part one of my love for NYC. we've still got to talk about the food, the subway, central park, broadway, top of the rock, shopping, brooklyn, staten island ferry, greenwich village, soho, and the hotel. so much left to say.
