march 26th

i originally intended to briefly recap my trip to new york, but it's so hard to pick and choose highlights when everything felt so amazing. so in short: i love everything about the city (minus rats in the subway... puke) and i will move there one day. oh, and the cupcakes from magnolia bakery really are as good as they say. then again i can't imagine ever objecting to cupcakes.

i never felt any sort of affinity towards rembrandt until i saw this image in the met. i particularly love self portraits because i think they are windows into an artist's mind. i can't think of anything as personal and intimate. there are literally thousands of works in the met, if not hundreds of thousands, but i think just their collections of rembrandts and pollocks are enough. so beautiful.
