CAMILLA PARKER BOWLES
Right before we arrived at the Whitney this police-escorted entourage came out of nowhere and pulled up in front of some hotel. I had read that Prince Charles and Camilla were in town the day before and actually caught sight of her getting out of her automobile and heading inside.

FLURRIES
Kinda warm for snow but we had a nice little snowfall this evening which you can just barely see here.




Sundays are not particularly great times to visit museums in New York, but Cara and I had a day to hang out together so we walked from the 81st Street Station through Central Park over to the Whitney Museum. We were primarily there to see the eerie and profound Kiki Smith retrospective, but also took a stab at the Picasso and American Art exhibit, which was showing for it’s last day. Much too crowded. It was difficult to actually absorb the material with so much physical presence. We browsed the other floors but the Terence Koh exhibit in the lobby blasting out a blinding beam of light was a nice opportunity to get in some abstract crowd images.
