My City’s Sound

“Practically everybody in New York has half a mind to write a book — and does.” Groucho Marx

The Beginning of Passion

I am on a journey.
A journey back to the place where my passions began.

To the city where art, fashion, and style change by the day.
To the city where dreams go to live and passions go to thrive.
To the city where colorful graffiti lines the buildings.
To the city where bright billboards are designed to invoke ones senses.

To the city where chefs cook their designs.
To the city where musicians hear music in the park.
To the city where love sneaks in when you least expect it.

To the city designed for it’s creative people.
To New York City.

A Beautiful Reflection

The most beautiful piece of art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It reflects the beauty inside everyone.

That Fantastic Thing Called Art

Art brings different people together and unites them with a common pleasure. When this couple asked me to take a photo of them in front of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, I agreed and I also asked what their favorite part of the museum was. It was amusing to hear them describing completely different exhibits as their favorite.

Every person has an appreciation for a form of artwork even though they may be different from one another. His favorite was the detailed Egyptian art exhibit, while her favorite was the elegant Grecian art exhibit. Even though their opinions were diverse, they both loved art and visiting the museum. I was told that visiting the museum was one of the highlights of their trip to New York.

Like I said, art can bring people together while love is what will keep them together.

Picturesque

Art is an expression of creative ingenuity that bubbles up out of a spring inside your mind. In New York City, there’s a place called the Metropolitan Museum of Art. There are so many different exhibits that you could be there for hours and hours and still have more to see. The styles of art are so vast that no two paintings or sculptures are the same. Likewise, there’s also a place called the Graffiti Graveyard where the walls are completely covered in graffiti and the art is so different to anything you would find in the MET, but it’s still art.

Art, in a way, reminds me of people because each person is unique just like each painting is different. Some paintings are wild and colorful, while other paintings are black and white. Some invoke happiness in the people that admire them, while others invoke love and other emotions. Each one leaves an imprint in a person’s mind and gives him a feel for the artists style.

A friend once told me, “I love make-up because I can paint on my face.” People express what they are feeling and who they are through what they do. It’s shown through their clothing, their make-up, their shoes, their art, even their schoolwork. Everything we create is an articulation of a thought or idea that surfaces and as a result leads to something spectacular.
