Kykuit
Recently, I had the privilege to be at a two day meeting held at Kykuit, a National Trust site that was built about 100 years ago as the residence of Nelson D. Rockefeller just north of NYC. The estate is on 120 acres overlooking the Hudson River. In the spectacular gardens are 120 sculptures, many modern masterpieces from the likes of Calder, Giacometti, Moore, Picasso, Brancusi and others. These shots were taken with my cell phone on morning walks before breakfast... Interesting to see how the spoils of one of the original Robber Barons of modern capitalism were spent... The Rockefeller Brothers Fund (who have been doing good penance with their philanthropy) now has a conference center on site to host meetings.: 54 photo(s) (35 MB); Album was created 1 month ago and modified 1 month ago; No comments; Hits today: 0; Visitors today: 0; View album

Paris in May
(Jan 9, 2005)
A spring week in Paris... what more can you say? By my reckoning, there is more beauty and pleasure per square meter here than anywhere else on the planet. May Day celebrations, spring flowers, omnipresent crazily varied art and the eternal glories of french food... ahhh: 134 photo(s) (20 MB); Album was created 6 months ago and modified 6 months ago; 3 Comments; Hits today: 0; Visitors today: 0; View album
