I thought so too, Ed. Moma did a real nice job of presenting his work, breaking it into thematic-type groupings. Gorgeous prints! I was surprised that I hadn't seen the images before. He was mostly unkown to me, but usually something catches my eye and I'll say to myself "oh, i've seen this before." Great photos.

I saw the Shomei Tomatsu show a few weeks back and it is very good. If you're in the City you should check it out.

SF Bay Area Update
SF Bay Area Update
The Millbrae Art & Wine festival is this weekend (9/2). LOTS of people attend this one. Live music on one stage only (unlike Italian Fest in San Mateo ~4stages!). I'll be there one or both days, probably Sunday though.
Also, two new shows start at SF MOMA on Saturday this weekend, Imposing Order, and Mexico as Muse: Tina Modotti and Edward Weston.
Anyone interested in meeting at SF MOMA on the 9th at 2 PM for the show(s), and then going over to the 4th Street B&G in the City, for chattig, photo slam and drinks?

Ray,
I might be able to join you on the 9th - I have training for my mentoring program that day. Of course, I do not yet know how long that training will be so...

Can't make Millbrae, but sounds fun.

Allan, let's keep in touch, then. I really can't do anything early, because I have commitments as well. If we don't get many takers maybe we can shoot in the city after MOMA (?)--walk up to Chinatown, or NB.

Ray,
Sounds good. Turns out my training runs until 3.

I was a little dissapointed in the Modotti Weston show at SFMOMA. I went to go see it on Monday. It wasn't a very big exhibit and wasn't very comprehensive. A few flower shots, the portraits were good. A few street & architecture shots. Some of the prints were very small. They just looked ordinary and the only thing that tied them together was that they were shot in Mexico. I'm curious as to what others think....I should be shot for being too critical. I just wished they showed more of Tina Modotti's political activism in the work.

Oh boy. I'm not a huge fan of either photographer, so I imagine I'll probably be disappointed in a major way. I'll still go, though. How was 'Imposing Order,' the other show?

That was much more interesting than the Modotti Weston show. Being originally from LA the work by Ed Ruscha was fascinating in that he had panoramic shots of Hollywood Blvd. in the 70's and shot them today. The changes were incredible. Also the work of Hiroshi Sugimoto was good in that he shot animal/prehistoric display pieces at the Museum of Natural History in NYC, removed all the displays, titles & references that it's a museum piece to make it seem, in essence, real. That was my favorite as it was so simplistic & posed but it really did look real.

Good. Something to look forward to! I hadn't heard of Sugimoto...sounds interesting.
