There are days when I have to work like a dog to find a photograph for the blog. Then there are days like today! I went to the city again, this time to see the Robert Frank exhibit of photographs at the Met. It was raining lightly when I came out of Penn Station, and I began to see photographs everywhere! It was about all the people with umbrellas, and the wet streets reflecting people and buildings. I had to walk over to Herald Square to take the subway, and I found photographs on 32nd Street. I took the subway to Central Park South, and then walked north along 5th avenue up to 82nd Street. I saw photos everywhere, and I was shooting like a madman! By the time I got to The Metropolitan Museum of Art, I had a camera full of images! This is a new statue at 5th Avenue and Central Park South. It is stunning with it's brilliant color, especially on a rainy day. It is titled: "The Ego and the Id, 2008" by the sculptor Franz West. It is 20 feet tall, and made of welded aluminum. I think you can sit on the little seats, if it is not raining.
The sculpture is interesting but what caught my eye is the path leading into the trees behind. Very nice.
