Sunday

Yesterday was a good day. I saw a fabulous photo exhibit of Martin Parr's work at La Maison européene de la photographie. (I find it amazing how they regularly curate excellent exhibits.) It was too bad that the love cubes game was not working though - you can play it online here. While I really enjoyed most of his work on our increasingly materialistic culture (e.g., Sign of the Times) and his portrayal of the British middle class, I didn't appreciate as much his gloom-day approach to travel in Small World. In this series, he limits the notion of global travel to cynical commercialism - hordes of travellers to European capitals or rich white people in developing countries. See Parr's website for a glimpse of his work.
The other reason yesterday was a good day is that I found a great light blue wool coat at a thrift store (at a very reasonable price).
Other than that it was grey all day long.
