The Arts in New York City

could we record our work as a podcast and show it in class?

I am doing a skit for it… is it ok if it contains profanity?

I don’t know if you noticed these articles form the NY Times, but you might be interested in them…

• from today (Nov. 4), an article about music, and the people who make it, for “Family Guy” (the FOX animated show), discussing the complexities and unexpectedly broad range of the music involved
• also from today, an article on dancers working to get their bachelor’s degrees, since their dance careers are virtually guaranteed be over by the age of 35 (does dance remind you of an underpaid, less rule-bound, even more cutthroat version of professional sports yet?)
• from Oct. 31, a preview and discussion of the dance we went to last night and,
• from Nov. 2, a review of the performance

To upload PDF images you must open the image first and “save as” jpg. Then upload your jpg as usual.

Also note that file names need to be changed to plain text and numbers without spaces, symbols, etc.

If your image file preview is too big, just click “show:title” in your upload options box before posting to create a simple link that will open in a new page.

This is not ideal in that it does not create an instant thumbnail, but it is better than leaving it as a pdf in which case users have to go through many more steps to actually see the image (see example below).

And thanks for a great class yesterday – good times indeed!

Tuesday, the windy afternoon, I rushed to the International Center of Photography on 43^rd Street planning to have a last minute glimpse of it before it closed, so I could at least have something to write on the IDC paper. However, it was that less than an hour look-around that redefined my definition of Photography. Photography, draws a line between art and life, and that line is truth. (more…)
