Splitting my photography time up between two flickr accounts is a bit of a strain but it's really helpful for me to be able post pictures there that I want to critiqued for very specific reasons. It's a bit lonely and a little intimidating but still worth it. I took this one on an afternoon neighborhood stroll this weekend. Saturday was just perfect. The afternoon shadows were great. I had a fucking hell of lot going on at the same time though. Uploading a video I made that morning, baking a yam, charging my digital video recorder, Christ! I start classes this week!

But I had to get out and take some pics yesterday if for no other reason than I'm doing a "365" project on my other flickr acount which requires me to take a picture a day of one doll for the rest of the year. Yeah. I'm on picture# 24. It's been really challenging but super stimulating. I'll let you know how I feel when I get to picture# 100.

I went to the Brooklyn Museum this weekend to re-visit an exhibit I loved years ago as a girl when my mother used to take my brother and me there. It was the subject of piece I read for the a writing group we've formed at work and it was suggested that I go back and see if it was still there.

It is part of exhibit of reconstructed 18th Century Period New England and Southern houses. Though changed a bit, they were all still there, and walking through the narrow aisles through those staged pockets of historical silence, displays of furniture and middle class interior design, I felt like nothing that mattered had really changed in a Museum that is very dear to me.

I hung out for a few minutes in the large arch of this grand atrium (pictured above) and just breathed in the stillness that I love about Museums in general. I've always been kind of romantic about old ancient things, architecture, artifacts, ephemera. So here I was sort of feeling my ancient and modern self merge. It was good.

Pulled out the old telephoto lens last night after midnight of all times to shoot the holidays lights in my apartment. It's been a while but I still love the idea of making a picture which requires you to "unfocus".
