MoMA

Today we headed out to organise tickets for the Sex in the City tour and Woodbury Common shopping outlet. With that organised, Ros headed to Madame Tussaud's whilst I made my way to B&H, a well know camera superstore. How I walked out without purchasing anything is quite beyond me.

We met up again and made our way to the Museum of Modern Art. Most museums you go to are relatively quiet, but this one was a hive of activity.

I suggested we start at the top and make our way down, and I'm glad we did, because all the paintings were on the 4th floor. There were works there by Cezanne, Monet, Van Gough, Matisse, Picasso, and a swag of others.

The third floor was contemporary art and I saw a piece by Jackson Pollock. I have to say, not as fantastic as "Blue Poles" in Canberra!

The second floor was architecture, design and photography, and that's where I saw my first real life look at an Ansel Adams photo! Awesome!

On the way back to the hotel, some cute guy starting talking to us, and gave us a couple of tips for places to go. And now we're going to head to "Top of the Rocks" (Rockefeller Centre), to see if I can't challenge some of those photographers in MoMA with a work of art myself. Highly doubtful.



10.50pm Update:

I'm no Ansel Adams. That is all.
