Since there's been so much talk of Avedon, I'd just like to remind Bay Area Dorkroomers that the Avedon show at the MOMA closes on 11-29. If you haven't seen it yet, FOR SHAME. Hopefully I'm making a third visit tomorrow after work if the swine flu hasn't caught hold of me by then...  This is in the exhibit, and it's my favorite shot of his:

The first show at Pier24 in SF had their series of water towers. With the subject matter that straightforward, you find yourself looking at them longer to find the differences.

The depth of love that is possible between two people is so I think Danny is seriously the most naturally (and unpretentiously) eloquent person I've ever heard. He's like real-time poetry.

TotalHell posted:I honestly don't think the digital copies do them justice. The colors are quite vibrant, and he's got some excellent landscapes. I don't think they're bad. They're certainly competent. They're just not so impressive (to me) to be noted as anything beyond decorative art. There's just nothing exciting about them.

I hate to sy it, but it's been done before. And by Terry Richardson. Such a specific concept only works the first time you see it.

I remember there was one with a fluorescent lit bathroom projecting light into a dim tungsten lit bedroom.

Man, I really wish that orange sign wasn't so prominent in the background. It really takes me out of it.

guidoanselmi posted:why is that horse giving birth to a man? That's a really cool looking picture and obviously the photographer has a huge amount of technical skill, but it just seems so overcooked. Why is a guy cleaning horseshoes obscured by smoke? It looks sort of forced.

Ok, well apparently I'm not up on my horseshoe visual cues. I thought they were getting cleaned. In that case, great shot!

The SF MOMA did a Robert Adams exhibit a few years ago and it was the single most boring photo show I've ever seen. Well, in a proper venue, that is. It was his work with tree "portraits", I guess I'd say. The composition was dead on, the lighting and print quality were both super flat. Frankly, I didn't get what all the fuss was about. I see through GIS that a lot of his other work is a lot more dynamic than the tree shots, but man, that show really left a mark on me, even now.
