Lesson pt. 1

When M. [on right] saw that i had posted this photo online, he suddenly became quite nervous. I assured him that what he was doing was indeed illegal and that, once the cops saw, he would surely be arrested. That is what uncles are s'posed to do, no?

My Journey into Manhattan for Heatherpink
Heather had emailed me to see if I could go to the "Selfportaitr" exhibit sponsored by Flickr.com at the Pace?MacGill Gallery in Manhattan. Being that it closes tomorrow, I figured that there was no time like RIGHT NOW.
After seeing a Marylin Monroe photo exhibit at the Staley*Wise Gallery all the way down in SOHO (Thanks, Calvin, for the link from your site.), I made my way to Midtown to the corner you see above.Here the front entrance to the building. The gallery is on the 9th floor. Even after pleading and fist-waving, this "gentleman" would not get out of my shot. I told him he would be on the internet w/some nasty words to go w/his mug; he said he didn't mind.
Here is the lovely Art-Deco lobby & elevator. The building security guard held people back while I took the picture. He was very nice.
Here is where my journey ends. I got off at the 9th floor and took this picture of the introduction to the exhibit. I found Heather's photo, "These Lips of Mine," on one of the Macs, and then an overly zealous young woman prevented me from taking a wide-angle shot of the computer w/Heather's picture. I showed her the e-mail Heather sent, but she would NOT be deterred. Sorry. :(
