some of the coolest tile I've ever seen

look closely

This is one cool chandelier. It's got some Roman figures on it.

Here are a few of the ten Kuser family children.

A Stereoptican

The two images are identical except for the fact that one is shot a tad closer than the other. When you try to focus on both images at the same time, the whole thing supposedly turns 3D.

A Zoetrope

Spin the zoetrope around and look trough the slits on the sides. The clown appears to be juggling. This was the forerunner to modern-day animation.

more stereoptican fun

It's a cool idea, but my eyes just couldn't seem to do it.

The original Kuser family.

(for 2 more weeks)

Remember that lady I met who gave me The Cheap B------'s Guide to New York City? This is an old photo I found that I took on her rooftop in the Village.

Pinky

This is Pinky. We are best friends. When I come over he jumps on the couch and starts licking my ear. I know he misses me now that I don't come over anymore. I know he does.

Digital cameras are better than camera phones.

Ziggu-what?

As if the art weren't enough--go to the Guggenheim to experience the great inverted ziggurat (a stepped or winding pyramidal temple of Babylonian origin).

(So what if I copy-and-pasted that from the website.)

This was my favorite thing in the museum--hands down. I could stare at it for hours.

Kandinsky

I'm no painter, but if I had to try I'd shoot for something like this.

I love it when I see a famous painting or a photograph in my textbook and then all of the sudden I'm faced with the original. I think this one was in my photojournalism book last semester. I can't remember who took it, but it's kind of a cool (bizarre) juxtaposition. We've got a clenched fist, some black leather, and flowers. Of course flowers.
