I'm still waiting for about 1/2 of the galleries to open new shows after the holiday break but it was nice (although cold) to get out and see a bunch of shows this weekend.  I've repopulated TTP as best I could and will fill the rest out next weekend.  I love going to galleries (obviously).  The key word is "going" - the neighborhoods are visually interesting on their own - with amazing architecture, street art (graffiti) and just plain New Yorkiness.  All of that provides an excellent pallet cleanser between shows - something anyone who clicks through the links on this website misses.  SO!  I've decided to take a picture every time I go out to share some of those moments where I stop and let me eyes and brain refresh.  The above photo is a great shadow-puppet-stencil-tag on a light pole on 11th Avenue near 22nd Street.
