Go Back Up Your Files

The Colors of New York City series is temporarily on hold due to a major computer malfunction, which resulted in my (non-work) laptop (with all my photographs on it...) being sent off to computer hospital for surgery.  The good news is, my laptop is still under warranty. The bad news is, I was about a month behind in backing up my files, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they will still be there when I get it back. :o( 

Colors of NYC will resume as soon as my machine is back in service.

In other news -- my NYC assignment has come to a close and I had to say good-bye to this fine city this weekend. I'm in Rochester this week, and will soon be heading out to Austin, TX for my next assignment.

Now go and backup your computer files. Seriously. Do it NOW.

'Cries & Whispers', art installation by Hill Jephson Robb, at the Museum of Modern Art, Manhattan

"After Robb's sister lost her fight against cancer, leaving behind a seven-month old daughter, the designer attempted to restore the feeling of security that the child had felt with her mother. Cries & Whispers is a safe space of security and comfort, for physical and emotional, for a child whose mother is absent. The womb is created by wrapping, wetting, and rolling felt. The entrance, like the entrance to a nest, enlarges as the child grows."
