I Am Not A Suitable Perceiver

For those of you in and around New York, definitely go see the Thomas Struth retrospective at the Met right now. His large format photography is amazing; I wish I could cover the walls of my apartment in his Tokyo photos, or prints from the Paradise series.

There’s also a great da Vinci exhibit showing there through the 30th, but be warned - it takes a good half hour to get through the line into the gallery, and once you’re in, it’s so crowded that it’s difficult to even see the drawings, much less appreciate them. If you’ve got time and patience in abundance, though, it’s well worth it. His anatomical and mechanical drawings are all pretty familiar, but the originals are amazing.
