NEW YORK, NEW YORK – This afternoon I walked over to the Guggenheim Museum to take a look at the new restaurant there, The Wright (get it!). The Wright and its architect, Andre Kikoski, won best restaurant design at the James Beard Awards earlier this week. Link to James Beard Award winners. I ended up not photographing the restaurant, but caught a detail from the Church of the Heavenly Rest (occasionally referred to as “the church of the overly dressed” referring to its Fifth Avenue location) a block north of the museum. Image taken with a Leica M9 and a 24mm Summilux f1.4 lens. I took more details of the Guggenheim – I’ve attached one of the images in a comment.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK – 12 11 Park Avenue. Limited time spent shooting today – most of my day was spent diagnosing and fixing the causes of this blog’s crash. I think I have it sorted out, but the fix breaks the link to the photo in every post (there are now more than 180 of them) so I have to repair every link manually. I’musing this as an opportunity to apply what I’ve learned in the past six months on indexing and key words, so the process is time consuming.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK – Congregation Shaaray Tefila (Hebrew for Gates of Prayer) at Second Avenue and 79th Street. The current sanctuary of this congregation, which was organized in 1859, was dedicated in 1959. It was converted from a Trans-Lux movie theater. I’ve taken the liberty of posting the image twice – once in color and once in gray scale.
