I went to the city today to see two special exhibits at the International Center of Photography. I took the subway up to Times Square, and then I walked to ICP from there. It was wonderful to see how many people were gathered in the middle of Broadway! The mayor shut down parts of Broadway a year or so ago to turn parts of it into pedestrian malls. They painted the street, and put tables and chairs everywhere. What a cool thing it is to see - people having their lunches at the tables and others walking everywhere. What a brilliant idea! The exhibits I saw, by the way were a retrospective of Elliott Erwitt's life work, and another exhibit of US Army photographs of the destruction in Hiroshima, taken back in 1945. Sobering stuff.
