Seeing Things began life as my ArtsJournal blog, maintained from 2003 through 2005. In 2006 it became the viewing site for the writing on dance that I continue to do elsewhere . . .
Tobi Tobias lives in New York City, where she writes about dance and other things worth looking at.
My Books I have written "Obsessed by Dress," a meditation on fashion or--more broadly--clothes, and over two dozen books for children. You can find out more about these diversions from journalism by clicking on (what else?)

. . . and while I know a woman who learned Greek at ninety there are nevertheless some skills, like ballet dancing and gum chewing, which can only be mastered by the very young. Now that my hair is white, and my years of life ahead are growing fewer, I think that the pains I have taken over dancing have not really been pains, and I must study harder, much harder. When people grow old they must be dull. Dancing can't go on for ever. When you do dance, I wish you / A wave o' the sea, that you might ever do / Nothing but that.

The RÉUNION DES MUSÉES NATIONAUX (The National Museum Association's Photographic Agency) offers a photographic catalogue of some 200,00 holdings of French museums. It can be searched by artist, country, period, subject, and so on. You can make a personal album of your favorites on the site. New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art and D.C.'s National Gallery have similar services, but the French one is the most ambitious and extensive. Text in English as well as French. AddALL is an ultimate umbrella for finding used and out of print books online. It doesn't have the atmosphere of Foyle's, Powell's, or even the Strand, but it will give you every opportunity to need yet another bookcase. PROJECT GUTENBERG More books. No bookcase required. Over 6000 free electronic texts. CALLIGRAPHY LESSONS ONLINE Learn the italic hand and make yourself legible. Don't miss the animation. Color charts of HERBIN INKS. If you have to ask, you'll never know. THE NEW YORK TIMES Because it's there.
