Stopped by the Powerhouse Arena the other day and saw the EXHIBITION: SANDY: Devastation, Document, Drivea vast visual document of Superstorm Sandy created by photographers of all backgrounds–from career photojournalists to judiciously situated cell phone owners and ardent Instagrammers. (it’s ending today! I’m glad I caught it before it ends.)

I was happy to see lots of photos were taken…

I looked through each one, also hoping to rebuild, renew, renovate… and got one photograph and made a donation. What a great exhibition this was. Hope many people have seen it…

Happy Friday and Happy weekend, everyone! xo Hijiri

American Museum of Natural History

So last Friday, we went to the American Museum of Natural History. It was our Valentine’s day family date. We’ve been there few times before, but it was our first time taking our 1-year-old Mili there… it was extra fun! She especially liked the mammals area and the ocean life area, which I’d never been before and so it was cool to see that part. Here are some photos from the day — enjoy!
