Not sort of thrilled, I'm very thrilled; but I only sort of have a photo in the Times. Who really has a photo in the New York Times is René de Guzman, senior curator of art and all around good guy, in an article on the Oakland Museum. But there – just above his head and probably not noticed by anybody but René and Richard Taylor – is a portrait of René's wife that I took.
That’s great! I thought that was Marnie when I saw the picture in the NYTimes. I figured Mr. de Guzman would have a photo of his lovely wife somewhere in the office space. Plus it’s a great portrait.
In pursuit of greatness, of life, of one’s art I say use any door that opens. It’s a beautiful portrait of Marnie.
Congrats, Steve!
Thanks guys. It is pretty hard to not take a beautiful portrait of Marnie. I realized tonight – as I was supposed to be meditating at the Spiritual Center – that I really missed the punch line. I’m thrilled to have a photo in the Oakland Museum. For me, that is bigger than The Times.
Your layout reminds me of that scene in Blade Runner. If you keep zooming in you’ll find those fake snake scales on her sweater, really.
I hope they are fake.
