Yesterday I was invited to a member`s only screening of Born on the Fourth of July (1989) and post-screening discussion with Oliver Stone and Ron Kovic at MoMA Film Theater 1.
What do I do instead? I end up at Central Park, with lightning bugs around me. I think I am still there. For some reason, I have gotten trapped there, and I do not want to leave.
When art critics get together they talk about Form and Structure and Meaning. When artists get together they talk about where you can buy cheap turpentine.

Trying to catch up with fun days, here is what June 1st looked like: first some crêpes for lunch at Vive La Crepe Union Square (delicious crêpes and funny chair backs embedded in concrete).
Then, after browsing around at Beacons Closet</a>, and going to <a title="https://www.tibethouse.us/" href="https://www.tibethouse.us/" target="_blank">Tibet House</a> to gather info (Tuesdays meditation classes, here I go), it was finally time to visit Rubin Museum of Art. While Modernist Art from India, Illuminated, and Casting the Divine were very interesting and delightful, I must admit the nerdy geek in me enjoyed Hero, Villain, Yeti like a real kid.

Although I can not embed it (the author has disabled the option) this video by Japanese performer and CGI artist Kagemu is really worth looking at. Enjoy. (Via Nebula).
A couple of weeks ago I received my new Lytro camera. Although it is an incredible technology, and allows things that were unthinkable until now, so far I am mixed.
Pros:
Compact and discreet Extremely easy to use New ways of taking pictures Novelty Supercool “focus later” Cons:
You have to get used to a different way of thinking and framing a shot (square! and distance) Low performance under low light (although better than my crappy Samsung Galaxy IIS camera) Check out this online gallery.
Some people enjoy shopping. Some enjoy the action, other the object, others the fantasy of being able to “acquire” that which they feel (or society made them feel) they “lack” (beauty, strength, appeal… whatever).
Last week, while at the SoHo, I found myself enjoying window shopping. The design. Pure art. Beauty.
