NYC
I have mixed feelings coming out of the Kara Walker exhibit at the Domino Sugae Factory. The work was particularly amazing. It was all strongly executed and amazing to behold. The only sticking point, the mass consumption atmospher of the crowds. It was a sugary delight for a Friday evening. I am sure the history behind the pieces was lost to 99% of the audience. What did they really wait in line for?

an outtake from the very first reImagining shoot! here's to the next 99!
I just braved the cold for the most amazing exhibition in Harlem - the Belletrix exhibit currently showing at ImageNation!
These amazing artists created a beautiful multi-media exhibition that expressed the diversity of the Black female artist's work.
And it was wonderfully received! Make sure to catch it before it closes May 1st!
If you have not been to this amazing exhibition currently at the Guggenheim, you must go!
I am a huge Weems fan girl, but have never seen the entire Kitchen Table Series exhibited together. It is so intricately woven, it made me want to weep! Check it out on level 2!
Then head to level 4 for the ground breaking From Here... Series and just bask in the brilliance of her ability to make text and image bend to her will!
Out of my overwhelming respect for the artist, I will not post the few picks of the exhibit I was able to sneak in, but I will show you how well received her work was. I heart you Carrie Mae!
Can you feel the history embedded in every nook and cranny of these tiles? They have born witness to so much of the theater that is New York City!
Corney, I know! But when you are sloshing through knee deep slush, you have to keep yourself entertained.

This is what a rainy day should look like!
Living in NYC allows me to experience many things, but this weekend, for exactly one hour of my life, I brushed up against humanity. Yeah it sounds flowery, but being amongst the protestors at Occupy Wall Street reminded me of my core belief in the human narrative. I was able to squeeze a trip in this Sunday between church and meetings and walked away with a camera full of pictures and a heart full of hope:
