Monday afternoon at the MoMA

When travels for work take me through the Big Apple, as they often seem to do these days, I can't help but desire to catch a quick piece of it. As a vacation destination, NYC is hard to beat, few other cities can throw down such an array of sights, sounds, smells and tastes to keep even the most continuosly-attention-obsessive, fast-paced people stimulated. So, when a long layover appeared on my itinerary again I knew I couldn't waste a New York second in seizing it!

My only wish was that I could have spent more time at the Museum of Modern Art, it was a trip marked by brevity. Even so, that didn't hamper my enthusiasm to practice turbo walking on the sidewalks with other New Yorkers, eat some tasty Indian street food after wetting my mind in fine art and taking it all in in true NYC style.

Unfortunately my photos from inside the galleries did not come out very well, crowds and interior lighting variety did not help either. Anyway, art is meant to be enjoyed and interpreted first hand, not through the lens of an amateur photographer. Tim Burton had an awesome exhibit complete with a life-size Edward Scissorhands and all kinds of cool movie props, but wow he is very weird. I spent the most time in the impressionist galleries, it felt like no matter how deep I looked into a piece there was always something new to observe or was previously obscured. Needless to say, time flies at the MoMA, keeping in pace with the rest of NYC.

Until next time!

Can you spot the Empire State Building?
