The snapshot exhibit at the Macaulay building and the video activity was really fun. When I first discovered that this event would interfere with my usual Sunday morning activities I was upset, but once I got there I didn’t let the negativity affect me. I encouraged myself to be cheerful, and in a few moments I got excited about the project at hand.

My first trio to the Museum of Modern Art was an eye-opening experience. While I had seen many of Pablo Picasso’s works in books and other sources, I had never seen his pieces in person. Standing in front of Les Demoiselles D’Avignon was a very different experience than seeing a photograph of it on the Internet. It’s life-like size brought a realistic aspect to the painting that I had not yet considered.

I am noticing a trend that occurs with almost every event that we have been on with IDC. At first I do not really know what to expect, but I never expect the museums or people to be as interesting as they actually are. They are incredible. The International Center of Photography, the Metropolitan Museum, Thomas Neff (at the meet the artist common event), Fall for Dance, Snapshot Photo Day, and now Jeremy Geffen and the Chinese Festival at Carnegie Hall not only exceeded my expectations, but also blew my mind!
