My train trip to Obama's presidential inauguration, and a visit to the American Antiques Show!

Update: Here is a great shot of the inauguration taken for Vanity Fair by my good friend and photographer Todd Eberle

On Wednesday evening, a group of us from my company attended the Gala Benefit Preview of the American Antiques Show (TAAS), held at the Metropolitan Pavilion at 125 West 18th Street in New York City. A very popular show for the past eight years, TAAS features some of the finest dealers in seventeenth to twentieth century American folk art, furniture, Native American art, decorative arts, and fine arts. Net proceeds from this preview benefit the American Folk Art Museum, a most extraordinary collection of American Folk Art and Americana, dating from the eighteenth century to present day. The show runs through this Sunday and it was amazing to see. And I encourage anyone visiting New York City to pay a visit to the American Folk Art Museum – it’s fascinating.
