Went to the newly renovated Museum of Modern Art on 53rd St. & 5th Avenue and was thoroughly amazed by the open spaces, the extent of the museum's collections. Redesign was done by Yoshio Taniguchi; there is a special exhibit dedicated to him on the 4th floor.

The Arcade Fire, Canada's best new product, played in the studios of the Museum of Radio and Television, sponsored by KEXP, 90.3 FM radio. They were insane, banged on the walls, thrashed, jumped, yelled, sang, and put on an A+ show.

Hudson, a former port city where merchants stopped to sell whale and seal skins, is now famous for its antique stores and chic boutiques. Today, it was desolate and quiet as we wandered the alleyways and main street, peering in shop windows and empty cafes. A town of beautiful old buildings and textures, it was a photographic heaven.

The event, complete with a transported beach, wine tastings, refreshments, dance floor, pool, and a mist structure, was a fun time for a warm and sunny Saturday. If you can't take your body to the beach, just bring the beach to the city!!

Photos: Backyard bliss

Home for the holiday weekend and took some photos of the backyard where so many days were once spent building igloos in the winter, playing soccer in the summer and fall, gardening, and so on. Living in Brooklyn gives one a new appreciation for yards, gardens, quiet at night, and stars. But yes, the raspberry patch is doing well, lots of vegetables are growing in the garden, and I had lots of fun mowing patterns into the lawn today in preparation for a future dream career as a baseball stadium lawn-mower.

Cornell Daze (The greatest game ever played): Photos.

In the spirit of senior week, the idea for a photographic scavenger hunt is born. 2 teams take to Cornell's campus with digital cameras and a mission. Items to photograph include 2 statues, an animal (not a dog or squirrel), an "Abbey Road" photo, a flying object, an image from the 5th floor of the Johnson Museum, a sundial, etc. Team 1 emerges victorious after straying from the list and partaking in debaucherous and sacreligious acts. (Warning: alcohol involved).

*Note: photos also taken by Stella, Vijay, Kedar, Karthik, Mihir, and Janet
