Guggenheim, Tourists and Daily Traffic

I was looking through my archives when I spotted this picture from my last trip to NYC in 2013. Guggenheim is one of my favorite museums, both for its collection of art works as well as the building itself. I like how easy the circular ramp slope leads you up to the top of the […]

Typewriter

Saw this at one of the exhibits in MoMA I think… I’ve never used a typewriter before, although there was one at home. Probably fortunate to have skipped that portion of technology since I’m prone to typos. After all, the correction fluid is my best companion back in school.

Ok… I’m still sieving through my 3000+ worth of holiday photos when I chanced upon this shot. Well, I clearly took […]

Isis of Dendur

I suppose anyone who sees this picture would’ve thought I had taken this somewhere in Egypt. Well… Actually I took this at the Met during my grad trip in NYC. The Met has got to be my favorite museum in the entire world, second on the list is definitely Albright-Knox. 🙂 What about the Louvre? […]

Katsu-Don

Katsu-don (カツ丼) at a Japanese restaurant in East Village. Looks really colorful… Pity the tonkatsu was a disappointment.
