Yesterday I had a pleasure of browsing the galleries at the wonderfully chill & air-conditioned, Metropolitan Museum of Art. I took a bunch of badly lit, reflective, low quality iphone pics of my favorites. Didn’t need to bother because apparently most everything displayed at the Met is also available on their website! Now you can see what I loved the best as high quality, archival photographs—from IRL to your computer screen.

notes : Earlier in the day BS & I had an impromptu mtg with Weird Friends at Salties . Later we rowed boats on Central Park pond/lake. It was a perfect Sunday.
