Better Than Real Because It's Not.

Central Park.
We entered the city via the Midtown Tunnel.
The day started out sunny.
Today was a holiday, but I don’t know what.
Pete told me not to take photos of his ass.
So of course I did.
As we passed through the park, Pete molested the cat.
Video of him climbing down the hill in his rollerblades would have been even more amusing.
No visit to the city is complete without encountering an alien.
When it was time to leave, there wasn’t much traffic.
We passed by the CitiGroup Building. It would have fallen down in high winds had the architect not realized this when construction was nearing completion.
By the time we got out of there, it was not so nice a day anymore.
And then we passed the other Citi building. One wasn’t enough.
(actually I think it used to be the Traveller’s Building before the buyout)

I have been working myself to the point of breakage. I chose a most unlikely circuit-breaker. I would go photograph Christo & Jean-Claude’s The Gates at Central Park. Needless to say, I went on the very last day, very nearly at the last minute.
So, let me be the first to say, I don’t get Christo.
I do know a lot of orange fabric when I see it.
I wandered around, tense, and taking all manner of photos that I presumed wouldn’t come out very well. In fact I did lose at least one shot to a failing disc in my camera.
After I settled down, I decided to try and take the pictures less taken. I present what I hope is one of the odder collections of The Gates photographs.
Favorite line of the day "I’m so sorry my mother missed this, she was supposed to come out on the day it snowed. Oh,… she was going to accessorize!"
This woman did.
Oh, and I’ve gotten my camera back since I last posted in here.
More of teh gates in teh gallery.

After nearly two weeks of feeling like total crap, I decided to accept an invitation to go into the city yesterday. I’m glad I did. It was a springlike day. Pete paid for everything. YAY.
59th Street Bridge heading in
Pete’s kidney stones didn’t act up too much.
I don’t do the impromptu smile thing well
It really is a huge park
Eventually though, it was time to go home
