MANHATTAN – We’re Gustavo Dudamel groupies. Tonight he conducted the New York Philharmonic playing, for the first time ever, in Radio City Music Hall. A pop up. Radio City was designed as a theater, not as an orchestral venue, so the sound is stage centered – not good for an orchestra. But . . . Radio City has an elaborate, newly-installed, surround sound system, used for the first time tonight. The experience from row P was very much like listening to the Philharmonic on a good home theater system. Anyway, it was a fun program and Dudamel and the orchestra were in great form.
Day 5,950 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
Looking back to Rajasthan India on this day exactly 11 years ago. A few years back, showing a set of prints to a prominent NYC gallery, this image was judged to be “too ethnic.” But this portrait is nonetheless a personal favorite. Interesting that the background landscape looks like a painted backdrop. Day 1,932 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
