iPhone Update
Missy | January 27, 2008
Was it really just four posts ago that I introduced The World According to Missy: An Arbitrary Assortment of Day-in-the-Life Glimpses through the iPhone Camera? Because I’ve got another collection ready already.
Mihow threw a surprise birthday party for Toby, except that he showed up before all the guests. Speaking of parties, the second shot was of the table at my company holiday party. I don’t know why the chopsticks are there, because what about cocktail wieners suggests chopsticks? And that candle? A battery-powered light buried in a jelly-like substance.
It’s the baby again, at Enid’s. He’s wearing gang colors. I should create an iPhone subway series because half of my photos were subway-related. Here is one: the elevated platform of the 1 train at 125st street, on my way back downtown after paying a visit with Laura, Ezra, Hillary, and, of course, Putney.
The New York State Theater at Lincoln Center, during one of the intermissions of Jewels. The photos along the tiers are part of a rotating collection of the New York City ballet over the decades, which makes killing time before a performance and during intermissions less boring. Next, a view of a mound along the Hudson, on Metro North rail. It’s a lovely ride along the Hudson line.
Within this next re-sized photo, you can barely catch a glimpse of Merce Cunningham in his wheelchair as his dancers begin to warm up before a performance at Dia:Beacon. I only recently learned that Merce continues to teach a class at his studio, and that he will begin broadcasting those classes. I have been taking (a less advanced) class there recently and it’s been like learning to walk and count all over again, which is to say, I haven’t had an easy time of it. Also, shhhh. I was not supposed to be taking photos. Meanwhile, another photo I was not supposed to take: inside one of the Richard Serra Torqued Ellipses. There was a rather elaborate cobweb at the top of the opening. Good luck seeing it in this photo.
Subway sleeper. See what I mean about the subway photos? For some reason, I took a photo of some of the things on my desk at work. I use that calculator for adding and subtracting, occasionally multiplying and dividing things. That’s all the functionality I am required or know how to use, as I need neither to solve nor graph the differential of the arctan of anything.
Looking north from the 50’s at Central Park the Uppers West and East Sides. It never gets old, people. Walking home over the Brooklyn Bridge at dusk. The good news is, the days are getting incrementally longer. Barely.
