a Photo Blog, from swerve of shore to bend of bay, brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to dear dirty New York
Exciting news if you’re in England – my MFA course will be exhibiting at the Lightbox in Woking next month (I will have a couple of images in the show). There’s a lot of interesting and exciting work to see from a talented gathering of serious post-graduate students so, if you can get to Woking, come see the Gathering.
Part of our introduction to English customs included attending the Farnham Bonfire festivities
“Guy Fawkes Night, also known as Guy Fawkes Day, Bonfire Night and Fireworks Night, is an annual commemoration observed on 5Â November, primarily in Great Britain, involving bonfires and fireworks displays…” (see more at Wikipedia).

A freshman fair at the University for the Creative Arts, Farnham. Many departments set up booths where you could try your hand at different artistic or artisanal pursuits, a few snapshots of which, above. Click any image to see them all enlarged (on the web site – click through if you’re seeing this in an email).
Back to the theater. For my birthday, we went to a crowded (masked and vaccinated) Broadway theater to see David Byrne’s American Utopia. I couldn’t resist grabbing one surreptitious shot from the balcony.
In addition to the fireworks, NY hosts a costumed 4-mile midnight run on New Year’s Eve.
We didn’t really set out to see the parade, just taking a walk in the park on Thanksgiving morning, but we couldn’t help seeing some of the floats through the trees as we went. Click any image to see them all bigger (mobile device results may vary).
