Wandered off to the National Gallery of Modern Art, which I really liked quite a lot. As well as a bunch of excellent surrealist pieces (mostly from the 30s) the whole second floor was a display of photographs by Diane Arbus, an American artist shooting in the 60's, mostly. A lot of the stuff came off as initially disturbing, as she tended to photograph people on the margins of society, but having all these works collected in one place gave a comforting sense of the breadth of humanity. I was very into it by the end (a quick google search will give a sense of her stuff).
Anyway, I took along the camera to chart my journey! It was the first sunny day in forever, and I loved it oh so much. It would take forever to cross-post all the photos, but here's a link to the Facebook album I put them in. It should be entirely open to the public, but let me know if you have any trouble viewing it (cpassare(at)usc.edu)
Much love from Scotland,
Chris
The promise of picures was enough to get me to sign-in to facebook, first time in almost three months. Love the comments. When we saw the stained glass outside, I hoped you'd go inside - modern but attractive. Can tell the weather is colder there - our daffodils have come and gone...
