...IF you live in the Boston/Cambridge, MA, area:

On Saturday, April 17, my combined MIT/Harvard Extension School classes will be traveling to New York City for the day to see the Henri Cartier-Bresson exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art, and the Eugene Smith "Jazz Loft" exhibit at the New York Public Library at Lincoln Center. The bus will leave Harvard Square at about 6:15 a.m. and will return to the same spot some time before midnight. We will make a food/coffee stop on the way down, and a dinner stop on the way back.

Why am I telling you this? Simple - there are some empty seats on the bus! :clap :clap The bus round-trip fare is $30, and the MOMA admission will be $16.

PLEASE ACT QUICKLY IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THIS ONCE-IN-A-LIFE-TIME OPPORTUNITY (No hyperbole - 300 HCB prints, selected 10 years ago by HCB himself, and Eugene Smith, all in the same day?:rofl )

If you want to sign up for the trip contact me at bd@bdcolenphoto.com and I'll hook you up with our "bus captain," who will make the arrangements.

    Can we get a new Artist in Residence that lives in the midwest? I'm tired of B.D. teasing me. :poke

    You're complaining about getting to Boston and NYC? How do you think I feel all the way over in the "Far East"?

    Looks like you can also catch the W. Eugene Smith show there:
    The exhibit is now on view at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts at Lincoln Center and will run through May 22, 2010. The exhibit will travel to the Chicago Cultural Center (July 17-September 25, 2010), the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University (February 3-May 22, 2011), the Museum of Photographic Arts in San Diego (May 19-Oct. 7, 2012), and the Center for Creative Photography at the University of Arizona (late 2012, early 2013). There will also be an exhibition of projected images at the Monterey Jazz Festival September 17-19, 2010. Please check again for updates to this schedule.

    Thanks for extending the invitation. It would be so instructive to attend it with you. BUT, being on the left coast, I will pass but look forward to its eventual journey to the SF MOMA.

    If I wasn't headed down to Leesburg, VA to shoot one of the biggest, badass MTB races of the year, I'd love to take the bus up and tag along. Sounds like a great day.
