New York State of Mind No.19 / Folsom Street Fair 2014

This picture, by my dear friend RoCa, was taken in front of a billboard at a sidewalk level on the "Folsom Street Fair" in New York City, last Sunday.
She managed to create the 'illusion' of 'real me' stepping out of the poster, leaving behind an empty silhouette. The very artistic eye of the beholder!

New York State of Mind No.18 / Zoeños

This Spring I'm carrying with me "Todo para una sombra" by Zoé Valdés.
"Z"oé is in my "A" list of favorite poets of all times.

I' m reading this 'luxury' re-edition mostly while riding the Subway in New York. One can say these are 'love poems', basically, but with a very intelligent 'twist'.

To get up to 207 St train station I usually pass by "The Dyckman House Museum", always regretting not having a camera with me to take pictures of the 'Cherri Blossoms' in season.

It happens that just recently, Zoé sent me this photograph, one of a series of paintings she is working on after her recent trip to Japan. Wow!
