Maybe it’s not a grand foyer like the Palais Garnier in Paris, but it’s close enough. Hey, at least it’s not crowded! (; (Perhaps if they put some theatre and brought some wine, more people would come. :P) The interior of the post office. It has a Beaux-Arts style. Anyway, a couple of Sundays ago, I … Continue reading 2022: The Interior Art of the Former Main US Post Office
"If we don’t care about our past, we can’t have very much hope for our future.” – Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, 1975. Heading inside the station. It's one of the many entrances. The other week, I explored Grand Central Station in Manhattan, New York, in the evening beyond the Main Concourse and the hustle and bustle. … Continue reading 2022: Exploring Grand Central Station at Night
As mentioned before, I went to Eric Kim’s Street Photography Master Workshop in NYC. Eric Kim is a well-known photographer who also infuses his own philosophy into his work. (Check out his site!

So, the following are just my (silly) thoughts on them. d: The … Continue reading 2021: On the Streets of New York
A mural of a camel hung up on the dimly lit stone wall. I noticed the shadows and the way that light bounced off the walls or seeped through the windows. And there was an electrical outlet near the bottom of the floor. Impressive! About a few weeks ago, I visited the famous Cloisters in … Continue reading 2021: The Other Cloisters’ Art
A couple of weeks ago, before Manhattan officially allowed “vaccinated” folks to walk the streets maskless, I was in this very city all masked up. So, these were my thoughts while walking through the streets. Also, I had the wonderful opportunity to photograph strangers with their permission and with their masks on. 🙂 While the majority … Continue reading 2021: To Mask or Not to Mask in Manhattan
The Famous Bethesda Fountain “I guess you say… What can make me feel this way… my girl! Talkin ‘bout my girl…” a man was singing a capella to that famous tune by the Temptations. So, the other Sunday, my mom, my dog Mahal, and I were inside Central Park. It’s a famous park that’s featured … Continue reading 2021: A Stroll through Central Park
Couples held hands. Groups of friends lingered, catching the view and beckoning their friends to photograph them. Parents guided their kids on bikes as they glided through the pavement. Such was the night's atmosphere as I strolled on the waterfront. From across the river, the city skyscrapers' white and blue and red lights shimmered on … Continue reading 2021: A Night on the Waterfront
Oh, nice! My mask matches my outfit, haha. This is a selfie. 😉 Last Saturday, I visited the Cloisters in New York, which is part of the Met Museum and it features medieval gothic and romanic art and architecture. I was excited to go inside again! It's one of my favorite things to see and … Continue reading 2020: The Cloisters Re-Opens
A view of Manhattan Wow, 33 years of travel! A couple of days ago, my parents and I celebrated (we've been quarantined together since March) my birthday in the city. And we visited my favorite park: Fort Tryon Park, which also houses the Cloisters. It's a medieval-like structure with medieval art inside, such as the … Continue reading 2020: 33 Years of Travel
