MoMA lunchtime, Friday. I like the "studies" taken here in front of paintings. It has been a while since I have done that.

I am almost always charmed when photos are taken of paintings...no flash in the museum please.

I have covered the flash on my bb camera with black tape - no more accidental firings. The bb flash goes off once in awhile even when set to "off." Technology can betray ya.

Happy Monday.

Friday morning's commute, Penn Station. I am breaking certain basic "rules of photography" more like keeping a correct horizon line. My best.

Standing on a morning E train yesterday - up close and personal.

I have quieted down the sound of when my BB clicks. The ear buds, the reading and rumble of the subway car also distract or muffle.

Have a great Saturday.

Today's subject really liked art - she looked at it and moved back and forth and took photographs. There are so many who walk through museums as if if they were at the zoo, ready to leave the monkey house due to smell or boredom. Yesterday I posted two pictures of a woman clearly fed up - she had sat down removed her shoes and apparently refused to look at the photography exhibit.

Today's subject appreciated art - she gazed at length carefully at Munch, Picasso, Seurat, Van Gogh, among others.

I hope you enjoy the multiple views of one subject - I could have posted one or two images, but I wanted to share the process. All were shot from the hip, reasonably covertly. One of these days I will show a subject a picture on the blackberry and see if she will pose for ten minutes or so at MoMA.

Life is good. Friday.
