leaving Rochester

The sun sets on a lovely adventure.

deviation from plan

While in Syracuse at SPE's conference, I got a little stir-crazy and decided to run off to Rochester, about 80 miles away, to see the Eastman House Museum. Kodak's ground zero. I saw a great show, The Unseen Eye, and made a new friend while wandering around the gift shop. Ed lives in Rochester and since Saturday was his art-hopping day, he offered to bring me along. Two galleries, a museum, and a strange art warehouse later, Ed led me to the interstate, waved goodbye, and I headed home, a smile on my face. Here's to not always having a plan.

This is Ed. My guide extraordinaire in Rochester.

This is a crazy place in Rochester called Artisan Works. Great fun.

 I love how weird this painting is. This is at the Everson Museum in Syracuse.

Hotel Skyler

My beautiful room at Hotel Skyler in Syracuse NY. The SPE conference was in town at Light Work. This hotel is so very cool, mostly because of its green-ness and sustainability. My one complaint was the pillows...

 Way too many.

 And waaayyy too big. 

At about 3am I gave up and got a towel from the bathroom and used it as a pillow.
