Having visitors in town is the perfect excuse to be a tourist in New York. Yesterday afternoon I took some time out to join my parents at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Every visit is special, not least because I always discover something new. This time it was Diane Arbus.

The exhibition was huge. We spent about an hour there and only managed to cover somewhere between one half and two thirds of the photographs and displays. If you’re in New York before May 30th, I recommend checking it out. Here is the link to the exhibition on the Met website. And here are some photographs I took in Central Park yesterday afternoon. They bear no resemblance to the Arbus pics but the show did inspire me to want to keep snapping.
