New York (faces)

So here is a bunch more photos i took in New York. They are all more facial based photos and I thought I would bunch them all together in one group. I will try and put it all in some sort of order with a little info on each.


Believe it or not we start with this gentleman. Getting up in the (what feels like) sub zero temperatures we made our way to see Lady Liberty. This was the first character to greet us. A good mannered busker with an almost encyclopedic knowledge of American towns. Manly from decades of experience I think over a miss-spent childhood.

We are then brought to Lady Liberty herself, staring out looking for the freedom from those English tyrants. The tour guide joked with the French tourists thanking them for her. I joked back that he can thank me for his freedom from our tyranny.

My Jokes never go down too well all the time.


We now actually get to the Met. (Metropolitan museum of art). There Egypt exhibit was fascinating. More or less their entire exhibit is a gift from Egypt for helping preserve many archaeological sites.


That is a much more commendable act than how we populated the British Natural History Museum. I guess when you are an Empire, its not technically looting. Still, not the best thing the British had ever done. Definitely not the worst!


Having left the Egyptian section we randomly chanced upon the most random of parts of the museum. A hotch-potch collection of sculptures, paintings and artifacts. It also included this lady who reminded me of the girl from Goldfinger. She seems more at peace though.


My favourite part of the exhibits as the modern art section. Here we have a self portrait within an untitled piece by Anish Kapoor from 2007. It certainly made you feel happy that you were not a fly.


Of course my fiancee had to look meaner than Chairman Mao. I guess Warhol was a bit too kind or I'm in for a tough marriage!


Oh yes. After leaving the Met we saw this creepy mime / ballet dancer. She looks happy but crazy. At least she is happy though.....
