Baruch is makes me look like the picture above ^. It is very upsetting that I spend four hours of each day commuting. And it’s even more annoying that I have three days next semester which I come in for a single class. This makes me even more depressed because the time commuting is 3 times as much as my time spent in class.

Upon arrival of the Mishkin Art Gallery, I was filled with excitement, anxious to see different art. However the lady tour guide was very boring and dulled my experience. Instead of listening to the tour I was more curious to look at the different paintings and pictures by myself. The part that struck me the most entertaining was the photography section. I am interested in street photography, and thought that the photo of the naked women’s butts depicted in a wave shape was fascinating. The thought of walking through the city and capturing different moments of the big apple’s movements and actions, captivates me. I am inspired to go and buy a 35mm fixed lens to help with my advancing passion for street photography. I was also filled with the thought of how art can capture so many thoughts and passions within a small box or rectangle. Pictures aren’t worth a thousand words, they’re worth millions. It was crazy to see how different time periods can be described in just a few pictures. The mannerisms, the way people dress, the things people do is very intriguing.

We chose to do the New York Times project on fashion, because it is embedded in everyday life and interesting. Our original idea was to do Business, but after convincing Ilya fashion is cool and that he’d only need to do 1 article he complied. Our articles corresponded to our topic of fashion in multiple ways. We used articles that talked about the influence of TV shows on fashion, the impact of fashion on new helmets, New York Fashion Week styles, and more.
