1. Recommendation of the Day:
Today I would like to recommend to you, the reader; the New York Times photo blog. It is the best photo blog on the internet at this moment and my number one source for photojournalism as well as any form of visual media that relates to current events. The site features news photography from the past and present as well as work that would fall into the genre of fine arts. A recommended post would be …

Thomas pointed out, “Something doesn’t have to be real to be real in its consequences.” The idea of kids going to a “warehouse school” might make some people livid.

1. Recommendation of the Day: Benny Goodman Plays Mozart
Today I would like to recommend to you an album; an LP if you are so fortunate. The album of which I speak is titled Benny Goodman plays Mozart. It features the Patriarch of the Clarinet performing the two compositions that Mr. Mozart created for said instrument (a concerto and a quintet) along with the Boston Symphony Swing Quartet. If you are still on this page it probably means that you are a member …

The Paseo del Prado led us to our first leg of the ‘Golden Triangle’ (only two of which we would end up visiting):  Museo Reina Sofia. It is a phenomenal collection of 20th Century art, the majority of which, we were unfortunately unable to see due to the space’s grandeur. Living next to New York City, we are spoiled to be so close to some of the best museums and galleries in the world. That being said, Madrid has museums that almost as good as those in NYC, if not …

The Pyrenees mountains are like the crumpled, discarded tissues of giants; awesome, majestic and yet somehow remarkably regular. This was my first impression of Spain as I flew over the northern coast. A most remarkable feat, as the island that we had just left had been stricken with snowfall in a way it had not seen in over 25 years…and dealt with it as if it had never seen snow at all. My brother and I had been in Ireland visiting our family members, …

Over this past winter break, several of our staff members found themselves traveling, both at home and abroad. We decided to take the opportunity to ask each of these writers to answer some questions about their recent travel experiences. Brendan McInerney, staff photographer and photo editer to the Johnsonville Press, talks about his time in Madrid, Spain.
