David, Michelangelo.

Why do Reid and I travel. For this to witness brilliance, art that changes how we feel and think. I am fortunate to visit the Academic Museum that holds one of the great sculptures in the world. Every time you see David down the long corridor beckoning you to come closer, my heart stops and tears start to fall. This is a moment that I always remember and store in my brain.

I am standing next to one of 6 preliminary pieces Michelangelo began before David. In each one you can see the process he went thru learning about marble and how he works out his ideas. The sculptures are very big.
