"Le Joli Fevrier":

Most people don't think of New York as being very much fun in February.

When I lived on 96th Street, we had an Art Group at the residence led by a very talented artist, Ann Quintano, and we put on several exhibits.

I had one collection of photographs I called " Le Joli Fevrier" ( inspired tongue in cheek by the Chris Marker documentary, " Le Joli Mai,"--which was about France when it was having troubles in Algeria) about NYC in February...lots of nice images if you want to get out with a camera.

I think we had all of about 50 people visit the exhibit...sold practically nothing ( prices were cheap, too)-- 

This is typical of kind of photo I displayed-- it is the East River from the Esplanade looking towards Wards Island.
