On this day last year: Live from Lincoln Center. May 9 seems to be my day to be at Lincoln Center.
there was one of those moments this morning in the space between the Seagrams Building and the Racquet and Tennis Club.

On this day last year: Forsythia in the shape of Italy.
So after driving a while we found a joint (actually a dive) that advertised barbecue. Here’s their sign. This struck me as pretty promising and not bad for an April Fools day (of course the joke is on the pig).
Inside it was clear the the ole boys who populate this place are drinkers (quiet and deliberate), not foodies. The barbecue was very disappointing – it completely failed to live up to the low-down vibe. You just can’t trust appearances any more.
Later in the evening I experimented with photo booth (an app) on my iPad and with some of Gary’s local whiskies. This is how my head felt.
On this day last year (April Fools day 2011): The High Line makes a feeble attempt at Spring.
We got an insider’s tour of the Biennial at the Whitney Museum today. Many of the works are ephemeral – accurately reflecting the state of play in the art world today. None of this work will exist in 400 years, so how will people be able to judge us from our art? I’m an effing troglodyte to ask this question but so be it.
I had my Sony Nex-7 in hand with a 50mm Leica Summilux lens.
