Art on the streets of New York City

Today was a fun workshop that I ran for the first time. It was all about photographing street art, people and murals in New York City.

What’s good: Mondrian in NYC

I was at MoMA in New York City with my sister Lynda and her husband Bill. Looking out a fifth floor window reminded me of a Piet Mondrian painting, so I made some pictures. After taking the pictures, we walked into the next gallery and it was filled with Mondrian paintings.
