New York's Guggenheim Museum



THE THIRD MIND___
American Artists Contemplate Asia, 1860-1989
January-April 2009






















Fascinating: Japanese influence in Edward Steichen's early work
Memorable: Asian and Japanese aesthetics in Arthur Wesley Dow and Langdon Coburn light treatment on prints (Grand Canyon, Regent's Canal)
Most revealing: John Cage; when writings and plastic arts precede sound

Running in New York






There is something very special about running in Central Park. It may be the abundance of other runners or the visual pleasures of a changing cityscape.
A relaxing side to an otherwise busy New York City.











































A good friend directed me to a runner's map site, essential if running in Central Park for the first time.
