Happy weekend all! If I had my way this weekend, I'd jump on a plane and fly to New York. Once there I'd check in to my hotel (somewhere grand) and immediately head over to MOMA and check out the Lee Friedlander photographs which I have been very much getting into of late...
They make me feel wistful and unsettled at the same time. The feeling of being unsettled actually intrigues me deeply. Hmmm...I think after having a look at his work I'd go have a dry martini somewhere in some beautiful art deco building. Either that or I'd go down Fifth Avenue and do some window shopping.
Happy weekend everyone!

what lovely images, sam! black and white is always so intriguing. thanks for your comments on my blog, too -- and, i think you'll be happy, i've included some from my friday night activity last night!! i went to the outdoor movie at mrs. macquarie's chair and had a fantastic time -- details and pictures posted!!
also -- i know this isn't exactly what we talked about, but i just saw an ad about "booking" your blog -- making it into a printed form. not exactly harper and collins yet, but at least it'd be backed up ... http://blog2print.sharedbook.com/blogworld/printmyblog/index.html
have a great weekend!! :)

My favourite kind of art (whether it's photography, drawing, films, writing, music etc) is the type that unsettles me the most. I'm not sure why that is, but it's what I'm drawn to. I kind of wish it wasn't the case because I'm always feeling quite disturbed by things that I'm choosing to take in. If that makes sense.
Nice plans you made for the weekend. Maybe next weekend they'll happen! You never know what's around the corner :)
