New York trip

I just returned from New York city, where my parents and I met to see my sister Heather's big choreography debut at Dance Theater Workshop in Chelsea. For those of you who don't know Dance Theater Workshop, it's quite a big deal to get a show there. My sister rules! She worked really hard for months and the performance was great. For anyone interested in learning more, go to www.dancetheaterworkshop.org and click on "Walter Dunderville/Heather Olson." Heather decided she wanted to be a dancer when she was five and actually is. It was amazing to see her name in lights. She's performed all over the world, but this was her first piece that she choreographed and the New York Times gave her a favorable review. Unfortunately I could not take pictures at the show due to copyright issues, but I took plenty of pictures of NYC.

Here are my parents waiting in the subway with me to go meet Heather at her place in Brooklyn.


Here is Heather's subway stop in Brooklyn. Isn't it gorgeous?




My sister, Heather, is quite a thinker. Can you tell?



After brunch, we went back to Heather's to see her new apartment. Her shoe collection left me speechless. These are shoes that I would look totally ridiculous in, but Heather looks completely normal.




The New York City skyline from the subway window.


The subway in New York is like another city. It's huge. We saw a great band and stopped to watch for awhile.



This is something I think I've only seen in NYC. A fur warm up suit. The store owner asked me if I wanted to try it on. I declined.


Here is something I really wish Chicago had--street vendors, selling everything from Ice Cream to hot dogs. This one was selling donuts. Yum!


Quite possibly the fanciest Home Depot in America.


Obviously the person that put a bunch of garbage in front of this garbage can did not see the sign "Keep New York Clean"


I'll wrap up with some fine art photos of New York
