slivers: my favorite bits of 2004
[Update: Pop-up images in place. I promise to make these pop-up into full-sized images at some point, um, I just have a party to get to and champagne to go chill right now. I'm sure you'll understand. And yes, I am also copping out of writing an entry to wrap this year up. I just can't. It's been too big and humbling. But thank you - you've been a grand part of it.]
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I think these images are wonderful just as is. Reminds me of Israeli artist Agam, if you know his work. He's got a fountain in the middle of Tel Aviv that many people have seen--does lots with slivers of color, etc...
Brilliantly colorful, patriotically evocative, incontrovertibly reflective of your New York experience. (Even though, clearly, Paris is in there somewhere...)

We have an Agam in our house...The photo collage is vaguely reminscent of it. Chalk it up to my mom's amazing taste and your artistic eye.
Deb, every time I read/look at the pretty pictures your blog, you make me miss the city. Yes, even the sketchy areas. I'd brave them all to be back on 120th and Amsterdam. I hope college will come soon enough to take me back.
Happy New Year to you as well...Here's to 2005!

Happy New Year. I, too, took a pass on the year-in-review post. Sometimes i feel my past doesn't stand up to too much scrutiny. Better off not to look.
You've got a great year coming up ... enjoy!

so, um, let's say i was to do a similar thing on my blog with the small pieces of each picture as link to the full-size version. would that be stealing from you? if so, could i have your permission because i think it looks really awesome? i would give you attribution and everything.

Go for it - have fun with the shapes and sizes. But, um, it took a ridiculously long time in the end, just so you know.

Love your pictures and your site. Really would like to know how you did this with your photo's. I would like to do something like this on my blog. If you could give me some tips I would greatly appreciate it. Enjoy your life and thanks.

MT comes with a lovely code generator that makes the pop-up images for you. I replace their thumbnail picture with my own, trimmed to the dimensions I want. I'll see if I can dig up the code.
