I like this photo of The Louse because it almost manages to catch the fact that they really were rocking out and are quickly becoming one of my favorite bands to go out and see. Their songs are really tight and well done. It’s hard to capture music in photos or in words really and I have to say I’m not a great rock writer or photographer, but well, that doesn’t stop me from wanting to share the great bands I go see in the hopes that soon some small part of the world will know they are in fact, great, and go see them too.

Chihuly at NYBG
I’ve been meaning to blog this since I went with O. two weeks ago for the last day of the Chihuly show at the New York Botanical Garden. At first I was skeptical, but it was actualy a really beautiful show and I loved how the glass and natural forms and colors interacted. It was kind of a cross between an easter egg hunt and walking tour and I loved the process of suprise and discovery. I also loved the excuse to walk around outside on a fairly chilly day. There’s a whole slide show up on my flickr account, so you can see way more…
Awesome Noguchi Sculptures
These sculptures were also some of my favorites in a completely different way then Noguchi’s rougher more “natural” stones that were in the sculpture garden. They almost remind me of the characters in Miro’s paintings. They have so much character and life and feeling in them.
Inside Noguchi Museum
Again, a really nice space. And a stone ring, how crazy is that?
Noguchi Fountain
Last weekend my parents came for a visit and we went to the Noguchi Museum in Long Island City, Queens. This is an awesome little museum tucked in a semi-industrial zone. It’s where Noguchi used to work and he planned the garden (I believe…). It’s really reflective to be there. This was one of my favorite pieces (my mom’s too)… I love how the water forms the thinned skim on the stone and reflects the trees and sky. I like how it combins the hard corners of stone with the deep, calming qualities of running water.
Long Island City Warehouses
Since I love industrial spaces and muted colors, this seemed perfect.
