While home in Virginia last spring, I went back to the Renwick Gallery, where the exhibit taking over the building at the time was No Spectators: The Art of Burning Man. The exhibit featured some of the large art installations from Burning Man, bringing the creativity of the festival to DC.

I've been back in New York - back from a few weeks at home after school ended - for a month now, and haven't had a chance to do much outside of my apartment, where I'm usually applying for jobs, watching The West Wing (as always), reading, or avoiding the cold.

Plus, there was an unfortunately-timed heatwave throughout the week. I spent the week doing some graduation photoshoots, collectively sweating and squinting in Washington Square Park, trying to find spots without too many people walking by, and waiting for shots in front of the arch, while enjoying some friends' exciting moments of graduating from NYU. Our 'campus' was hot but pretty, sunny and green in the park (with lots of NYU purple). Cap tosses, graduation gowns, and time in the park for something more fun than cutting through to get to class.
