- Description of Pictures: The art things around the center were a temporary exhibit by Takashi Murakami. The brochure describes him this way:
... The artist... has created an ever-expanding kaleidoscope matrix of happy flowers, fanged mushrooms, winking eyeballs, and mutant cartoon characters that are at once sweet and deliciously menacing... Takashi Murakami is the originator of the "Superflat" movement, a major international aesthetic current that acknowledges the primacy of two-dimensionality in Japanese visual art, animation, fashion and graphic art. Trained in nihon-ga -- a 19th century term used to describe the "Japanese style" of painting that was fundamentally different from Western styles -- Takashi Murakami absorbed classical painting techniques before honing his own approach, which bears a strong affinity with manga (Japanese comics) and anime (Japanese animation). ...

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rockefeller Center is a complex of 19 commercial buildings covering 22 acres between 48th and 51st Streets in New York City. Built by the Rockefeller family, it is located in the center of Midtown Manhattan, spanning between Fifth Avenue and Seventh Avenue. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1987. It is the largest privately held complex of its kind in the world, and an international symbol of modernist architectural style blended with capitalism.
- Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.)
I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com
and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
- Connection Not Secure messages? Those warnings you get from your browser about this site not having secure connections worry some people. This means this site does not have SSL installed (the link is http:, not https:). That's bad if you're entering credit card numbers, passwords, or other personal information. But this site doesn't collect any personal information so SSL is not necessary. Life's good!
