City of Brotherly Love
Oct. 14th, 2008 12:30 amHome from the Philly excursion. I had a nice time with the family, although disappointing on some fronts and flat-out frustrating in others. I managed to snatch a few photos of the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Olympia & Becuna. The museum's exterior was under heavy construction, which I tried not to capture in my photos. If you like quilts, they're having a lovely exhibition of Gee's Bend quilts until December. Alas the new Perelman Building for their costumes/textiles exhibits was extremely sparse, but they only opened last year. Still I saw more tapestries and textiles over in the main building. We did the Olympia & Becuna on a very bright Monday morning, so it was hard to get good photos without the sun messing up the light. I do wish I'd gotten a picture of Baldwin's Book Barn, an used bookstore my parents remembered in West Chester, Pennsylvania. It's a converted 1820s barn with nothing but used books, mostly hardcovers. It covers over four floors of all topics imaginable. All the photos are up on Flickr.
One thing I had forgotten about with the new computer was the razza-snarl of reinstalling the old HP digital camera. Since I couldn't find the disk, I used the backup from the laptop, hoping it would have what it needed. For now it works. But it only steels my resolve to get a new camera at some point.
