A strange looking Moonbird
I (mis)took it for a Pokémon Go-ers meeting point until I discovered that it is actually Joan Miró’s Oiseau lunaire (Moonbird), or rather an enlarged version of the sculpture the artist created in 1966. I still think it is the perfect meeting spot for Pokémon Go-ers, although I haven’t seen any crowds appear from nowhere around it yet. It mostly gets ignored in favour of the nearby actual Pokémon hunters’ spot at the Grand Army Plaza or – for the rest of the world – the dazzling 5th Avenue shop windows.What

Setting the record straight
Sad…!
January 20th, 2017 – Inauguration day.
The start of four long years. Four years too long.
Saturated
One of The City’s many facets – vibrant, almost technicolor, always dramatic. No color-correction at all, I actually had to tone it down a bit, to make seem more ”real”.

Rain of Light
My title, not the artist’s. The artist left it untitled so I thought, what if I call it ”Rain of Light”, isn’t it more fitting? Presumptuous may be, but it was the first thing that came to mind when I saw it illuminating the stairwell, making it an integral part of the museum rather than a solely utilitarian feature. I instantly thanked myself for choosing to take the stairs instead of the lift.

Lengthy Symmetry
There can be balance between extremes. It’s just a matter of finding the right proportions.
