Budapest, Hungary - part 15
A little Budapest, then a day trip to Vienna, only 2.5 hours away.
Every day we walked the short jaunt from our hotel to the museum. And most days I would shoot the people I walked by. Sadly, with such a big coat on, I was a bit encumbered, and mostly missed my framing. Oh well.
Handcuffed Mannekins. Stupid, but here you go.
Budapest has one of the oldest subways in the world. Don't believe me?
Then we went to Vienna, Austria, only a two and a half hour car ride away. We went to see art. Kevin enjoys a David Hockney.
Kevin also lingered over some hyper-realistic sculpture.
It was all pretty believable until you got to the crotch. No vulva, and sloppily glued on fur?
Some kids were bored out of their mind in the Albertina Museum.
The kids outside were having more fun.
"All that I know I learned after I was thirty." –Georges Clemenceau

"Most of the images of reality on which we base our actions are really based on vicarious experience." –Albert Bandura
"A child of five would understand this. Send someone to fetch a child of five." –Groucho Marx

Ed,
You're an inspiration in your skating, your art, and your lust for life. Been a fan of Toy Machine for years, and really like you and your wife's blogs.
Thanks!!!

i was at that hyper-realist exhibit, too, in MUMOK. I liked the chuck close pieces and the photographer that took pics of the TV (Friedlander???) because it reminded me of jgonz's blog. Hah!

Vienna handsome? Oprah? Srsly? If i would stumble into Oprah in Vienna I'm pretty sure my brain would melt... Like she would totally walk around alone without 4 bodyguards.
Perhaps they had to glue on that fur and underneath there's a beautiful hyperrealistic shaved pussy.
Austria is not Sweden after all...

Hahah, I was thinking the same thing about the sculptures. I was like "Wow that looks pretty real....the toes, the hands, the nipples....wait....thats just some fur there" haha
I really like the photos of the kids at the museum.
JGonz- I can't wait til the China Flat Toy shoes come out, I'll buy two pairs, and you buy two pairs and we can send them back and forth to each other to wear. Deal? If you're the same shoe size as me, it's destiny brah. Don't fuck with destiny.
