A Photo A Day: MOMA, cityscapes, and a walk back home
Day #1. My challenge of a photo a day started with an easy day. Who doesn’t take their camera on a trip to the City, let alone a when you’re spending time at a museum? We had tickets to the Edvard Munch exhibit at MOMA and then took some time to peruse through other galleries….
