I've been away for the better part of the last four weeks in Mass. for work so I'm a bit out of touch to say the least. We even missed the Christmas snow storm in the city because we waited it out in Pittsburgh. Though I am semi-proud to say that I drove through the minor "storm" yesterday to get home and made it in one piece. (You have to understand that I hate driving, and driving alone.) There was barely a hint of it in the city but it was rough driving through parts of NYS and CT at 20-35 mph.
For those who are photo lovers at heart, I recommend the Stieglitz, Steichen, and Strand exhibit at the Met, on view until April 10th. I went to the opening back in Nov. and have gone back once since. It's a wonderful study of the three photographers' work and the Met's collection is astoundingly gorgeous to say the least. A quote that accompanied Strand's "Winter, Central Park, NY" 1913-14 really struck me as a perfect description to the way I'm currently working.
Strand often framed his view from a somewhat distant, elevated perspective and waited for passerby to be ensnared in his camera's trap.With that, I'm off to photograph for my grant.
