Ghosts of Manhattan

I did some more practice shots over winter break with my boyfriend's current music project, called Ghosts of Manhattan. I've never taken band pictures before these, and it took me a while to get used to taking pictures of boys with such serious looks on their faces! Making music is serious business, I suppose. The boys liked the setting of the pictures I took of my sister (below post) so we went to the same place. I also tried out my new fisheye lens on some of them, and I was happy with how they turned out.

a day at SAM

My sisters and I went to the Seattle Art Museum last week to see the Picasso Exhibit in what will probably be its only international tour outside of Paris. It was beautiful, of course. One of the coolest things for me was the collection of black and white photos of Pablo Picasso himself, and the explanations of him and his various lovers. I love and appreciate paintings, drawings, sculptures, etc, but I definitely have the strongest response to photographs. On Picasso - I am far from a tortured artist, but I do find their minds quite captivating. We also lucked out on dinner - we wanted cheap, yummy sushi and we stumbled into Japonessa, right across from SAM during their happy hour (all the rolls were $4!) and the food + atmosphere were to die for. I definitely recommend it, and can't wait to go back.
