Doctor Atomic

October 19, 2008 | Filed Under General, Personal, Point+Shoot 

Last weekend, I journeyed north to my folks home for the weekend. Then, on Monday, three of my brothers and I went to the New York premier of John Adam’s new opera, Doctor Atomic. We got there in the morning and spent the majority of the day at the MOMA and walking about the city.

The opera was a wonderful experience, very thought provoking and inspiring. The conductor was really fine, very precise in some very complicated passages. I didn’t have anything but my point and shoot with me, but I did take a couple shots in the city. Caleb grabbed the first couple shots here of me in front of the Metropolitan Opera House.

We had a great time.

One of the items on my brother Josh’s to do list was to walk across the Brooklyn bridge, so walk across we did.

A stair case inside the MOMA.

I can’t remember who this piece was by, but it made a cool photograph.

    Ernie, we just finished the Ken Burns documentary on the building of the Brooklyn Bridge and it is a must see. I think you would really enjoy it now that you have walked across is and can appreciate its size and longevity.

    I think the light piece is by Dan Flavin.

    That was a blast man. Let’s do it again sometime.

    I could sure use one of those egg sandwiches right now.
