All That Glitters

An era passed

Vinyl is making a comeback:

“It is absolutely easy to say vinyl doesn’t make sense when you look at convenience, portability, all those things,” Mr. Jbara said. “But all the really great stuff in our lives comes from a root of passion or love.”

Vinyl Records and Turntables Are Making a Comeback

Nothing good ever goes away. People are still shooting pictures with black and white film.  Art supply stores are doing very well, thank you. And the handwritten thank you card is still preferred by nine out of ten Grandmothers.

No Photography Allowed

I took the Twin Princess Number One to Dia:Beacon this afternoon.

Photography is strictly prohibited, which kind of sucks since this is such an amazing space. There’s a ton of huge, monumental works lit by natural light. And of course you are right smack in the middle of the Hudson Highlands, some of the most beautiful real estate this side of the South of France.

So I managed to sneak this one off with my iPhone.

At The Aldrich

Aldrich Museum

Thomas Hawk complains (rightfully so) that museums in San Francisco have issues with photographers.

Here in the North East I’ve never had such a problem in any museum I’ve visited. And in some of the smaller museums, like the Aldrich in Ridgefield, CT, they’ll even go out of their way to point out what’s interesting, new and exciting. And they are kid-friendly, to a fault.

Must be a cultural thing.

Update: 10 Zen Monkeys has a decent rundown of the Thomas Hawk / SF MOMA incident and aftermath. It’s amazing to me (well, maybe not) how quickly they throw in the ‘pervert’ accusation. That’s the last bastion of someone who has nothing else to accuse someone with.

And the rest of the sheeple just go blindly on ….
