I've wanted to revisit NYC for a long time and the Frick was a cool stop for a modest? art fix in combo with architecture and decor. Might be waiting for, ohhh, slightly more than 1321 days, as I'm on a 4-year travel ban to the US unless things change.
The photography in the article looks incredibly amateurish. Like it was shot with a disposal camera that you can’t turn the flash off. The composition of the photos is very tourist point-and-shoot.
I wonder if that was intentional given the subject matter?
May be intentional, but this also seems to be an ongoing style I've seen elsewhere. I hate it.
