Have any of you viewed the current Pier 24 Photo Museum Exhibition (http://www.pier24.org/exhibition/current.html), and if so, would you share your impressions?

The reservation protocol to visit is a bit of a pain: on-line only, one week in advance minimum, no weekends, no groups, etc . . . But I've heard there is a worthy exhibit that ends in January, and the space is quite impressive, in general. I finally got a free afternoon to check it out. Though I am a mere occasional hobbyist and don't know these names, for those of you in the Bay Area, the current exhibit is said to feature works of: Diane Arbus, Lewis Baltz, Ruth Bernhard, Leon Borenstein, John Chiara, Kota Ezawa, Robert Frank, Lee Friedlander, Arnold Genthe, Jim Goldberg, Paul Graham, Katy Grannan, John Gutman, Johan Hagemeyer, Chauncey Hare, Anthony Hernandez, Todd Hido, Mark Klett, Dorothea Lange, Richard Misrach, Eadweard Muybridge, Bill Owens, Irving Penn, Doug Rickard, Stephen Shore, Peter Stackpole, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Larry Sultan, Catherine Wagner, Carleton Watkins, Henry Wessel and Edward Weston.
 
Next time I'll be in SF I'll try to go there.
No weekends and no groups hopefully means a good viewing experience at my own pace.
 
I've been very interested in going too and I'm curious to hear about it. I live and work in the East Bay and I just can't ever seem to make it there given their limitations.
 
I've been to 2 of their 3 shows (missed the first one).
The reservation system is really pretty simple, but it is weird that they require each person to make his own reservation.
Great space and shows. Check it out if you can.

Yes, and very few people allowed in at once, so you practically have the place to yourself.
