Shadow Shot Sunday/Apple Store

Shadow Shot Sunday again.
Go here for more participants.



Friday lunch time at the Apple Store on 14th Street.
R. was looking at techie stuff.
I was transfixed, as ever, by the staircase.



One thing I like about Apple is that all the young people who work there are so keen on everything.
They wear orange and turquoise T-shirts but do not treat a technophobe like me as the idiot I am.



A vendor has set up a stall selling jewelry outside the door. What are we now? Soho light?

Metropolitan Abstract and Some People

I spent quite a long time waiting around here the other day. But, if you have to hang about, this is a pretty good place to do it.
You can watch the world go by.



Even without art, the building itself is wonderful and monumental.


It invites shutterbugs to go ahead and try out artsy angles for photos.



The museum is so huge that one can get mental indigestion. So you can't do too much on a single day.
We went to the Courbet and the Jasper Johns - a good contrast.



We ate lunch in the cafeteria in the basement which is OK or even quite good as mass catering but not to be recommended as an aesthetic experience. (See Neue Galerie)



It is worth looking upwards and downwards as well as straight ahead.



Is one morally improved by drinking in art and beauty?
Or is it just pure pleasure?



I just enjoy looking at things - both man made and natural.
What do you enjoy looking at most in Manhattan?
