New York City - Though Peggy’s Eyes or Camera

So my daughter Peggy is an Award Winning Designer and Art Director in LA and as such she sees things a lot differently than I do: a retired financial type! Anyway

we met her in NYC a couple months ago, a place she knows well since she lived there for several years after she graduated from college.

I’m attaching some pictures she took on the NYC trip that I like. I hope you like them also:

This was taken in The Modern Restaurant at MOMA. She loves everything to be neat and clean.

Also taken in The Modern. I love this shot, but I would have never seen it! This deserves to be in a fashion magazine.

The Modern is a great place to eat. This is only the desert; think about how good the rest of the meal was!

This was taken in Central Park. She saw this cup and had to take the picture. She remarked as to how she misses "Dean & Deluca" coffee.

This is 21 Club on West 52nd street. I have passed this site so many times I cannot count, but with Peggy she stops and takes pictures. This is just one of the many she took. Great shot!

This is looking up in the elevator at the Apple Retail Store on Fifth Avenue. Who would think of looking up to take a picture?

This a light and sign on The Arsenal Building in Central Park.

I think this was taken looking out one of the windows in the NY City Museum. I told you she likes it nice and clean!

A van passing but not missed by Peggy!

Photographer and Mother

You get the idea. Her design work is also great. I suggest you go to her web site and blog and check her work out!

New York City Trip - May 2009

______________________________________

Peggy called a couple of weeks ago and said she had to be in NYC for a Stationery Convention Show and wanted to know if we would like to meet her there. Of course we are always looking for an excuse to go to NYC.

We do love the City; but don’t want to live there! Although we did live there for a month in the early ’90’s when Peggy worked one summer as an intern for a graphic design company.

This trip we went to NYC Museum; our first visit there. It was a very interesting especially the early history of New Amsterdam. They also had an exhibition on Henry Hudson trips in and around the Hudson River looking for a shortcut to the Far East. He didn’t find one but he is credited with discovering the Hudson River, although certainly not the first to see the Hudson River.

Besides eating in some very good food at some very expensive restaurants, Jenny and I walked from NYC Museum at 103rd street and Fifth Avenue back to our hotel on 7th Avenue at 53rd Street. The next day we walked all around SOHO, China Town, Little Italy and across the Brooklyn Bridged. Yeah, I was hurting at the end of the day.
