President's Day in NYC

A favorite place in NYC is the New York Historical Society on the Upper West Side. I was taken with this sculpture while visiting the museum to see photographs of the Selma to Montgomery March and the Pilgrimage exhibition of Anne Leibovitz.

Annie Leibovitz: Pilgrimage charts a new direction for one of America’s best-known living photographers. Unlike her staged and carefully lit portraits made on assignment for magazines and advertising clients, the photographs in this exhibition were taken simply because Leibovitz was moved by the subject.
