Pedestrians by MoMA, NYC

A few days ago I met Lynda for lunch at the Museum of Modern Art. I hadn't been to the museum for food since it's reopening. Lynda hadn't been there for the art.

After our meal, I convinced her to join me in partaking of the member's preview of the Olafur Eliasson exhibition. While the part we saw was small, I was enthralled by the careful execution of his seemingly simple concepts. Previous to the exhibition, I was unfamiliar with the artist. Now, I am eager to explore more of his work, and am making plans to see the rest of the exhibition at P.S. 1.

I took this photo while walking along 53rd street to the museum's entrance. I wasn't to meet Lynda for half an hour or more and spent the time exploring the color exhibit. One of my favorite aspects of that show was the Gerard Richter color swatch paintings. It makes me kick myself once again for missing his retrospective.

I love how the man seems to be checking out the women. Seeing it like this makes me feel as though I'm walking down the street. Great shot. Also very much enjoying the commentary through the blog.
