New York City (Part Three)

As promised, here are (almost) all of the images I took with my phone while in New York City.

This church was directly across the street from the bed and breakfast that we stayed at in Chelsea. I was in awe every time I walked outside.

 

Maria Lassnig at MoMa PS1.

MoMa PS1.

The International Print Center. From the High Line.

Seen on the High Line. The Frick Collection. The Light in the Frick was absolutely incredible, hence the long series just from there.  Charline von Heyl at The Whitney Biennial.

More from The Whitney Biennial (I cannot recall the artist though). The largest camera obscura I have ever experienced. This was by far one of my favorite things from the entire trip. I could have sat in that room for hours, and was wishing I had my tripod with so I could do a long exposure and show it off properly. The Whitney permanent collection.
Mira Schendel at the Hauser & Wirth Gallery. It is tough to see what exactly is going on in this image, but these drawings were between layers of plexiglass and then suspended from the ceiling. They were all on different planes, so depending on the angle you were looking the entire composition looked different. The red square was actually a ways behind and off to the right of the others as well. It was another one of my favorites from the trip.  Another piece by Mira Schendel. This room was filled with fishing line suspended from the ceiling. It was quite surreal.  The Guggenheim of course.  And from our flight home. 

New York City (Part Two)

Time for more images from NYC! Day Three was spent at The Guggenheim, and then at The Whitney Museum for the Whitney Biennial. The amount of art that we saw that day still makes my head hurt a little when I think about it. It was a bit overwhelming even.  I didn’t take out my camera at all in the museums, but did take lots of photographs on my phone and plan to do a post of entirely mobile images, so check back for that soon.

That night a small group of us went on an adventure to Times Square. While looking at these photographs I realized that I like cities for the same reason that I love towering forests of trees; I adore being dwarfed by the things that surround me. The massive buildings of big cities make me feel so small, and so do the trees in old, dense forests. Granted, each place has a different impact on me, and I absolutely need a balance of the two, but for some odd reason I truly enjoy feeling small because of the setting I’m in.

I didn’t take any images on my camera really on day four, so I will skip ahead to our last day in New York. Our last day was a free day for us, and since my head was still spinning from all the art, fellow photography grad Myra and I decided to take the day off from art and museum. We walked across the Brooklyn Bridge, and adventured in Central Park a little bit more, just enjoying the nice weather and our last bit of time in the city.

I will be posting two more sets from our trip, one as I mentioned will be all mobile images, and the other will be Polaroids I shot while there. I’m hoping to get those up as soon as possible because I have lots more (and more recent) to share!

New York City (Part One)

Last month a group of us art graduate students at KSU traveled to New York City with the main aim of seeing the Whitney Biennial (and of course lots of other museums and galleries). It was my first time in New York, and I absolutely fell in love. Since we had a crazy busy schedule and had to stay together as a group for most of it I didn’t have much time to take photographs (especially with cameras other than my phone), but I did manage to capture a decent amount, too much for one post at least.

Day one was spent walking around to some galleries and to visit a KSU alum who lives/works in NYC. Since we didn’t arrive until late afternoon it was a rather brief day exploring the city.

Day two was a much busier day, filled with a lot more walking. We walked along the High Line greenway, through central park, and saw lots of art of course.

 

More to come, so check back soon!

253/366 – Setting Sun

Yesterday I was in class/teaching/babysitting from 8:30am-10:30pm. I grabbed this with my phone while on a walk with the little guy I babysit.

211/366 – Sunglasses

*Sunday, August 5
Saturday was spent packing the moving truck and saying goodbyes, so I didn’t take a photograph. Sunday morning we drove to Kansas, and so I shot this quick when we got to the hotel.

170/366

Today we drove back home to MN, which meant another day spent entirely in the car, and therefore another 366 shot on my phone.

166/366 – South Dakota

*Wednesday, June 20

Thursday afternoon my parents, sister, brother-in-law and I jumped in the car and made the drive out to my brother’s house in South Dakota. We were in the car all day pretty much, so I grabbed a shot with my phone while we were on the road.

122/366 – Road Trip #2

*Monday, May 7
On Monday, Chris and I woke up extremely early and drove first to Missouri to see his grandparents, and then to Kansas to visit my new school and look for apartments. It was a 15 hour trip, so once again all I managed was a shot from my phone as we drove. This one was right before we got in to Manhattan, Kansas. Needless to say it made me even more excited to move there.

58/365 – Home!

For the first time in 9 months I am finally back home in Minnesota! I left this morning and drove 12 hours, so it was such a relief to finally pull into my driveway and see my parents house.

And, please remember to go vote for my portfolio and tell everyone that you know! You can vote once a day. I so appreciate each and every vote I can get, thank you for the support!

354/365 – Power Lines

Yesterday was another 12 hour drive, this time back to Lexington. I got back, went to see Elliot, and then was exhausted so I just didn’t want to deal with a picture. And, because I was driving all day, here is a lovely phone picture for you.

Ten days.
