when Bess and i were out doing our walking around thing on the 5th, we went to see a show at the Julie Saul Gallery called "When Color Was New, vintage photographs from around the 1970s." now i don't know what Bess thought, but i thought it was kind of awesome and a great representation of big artist taken photos that looked kind of like "oh pretty color let's shoot that!" no really, there were works there by Jonh Pfahl, Joel Sternfeld (Bess's formar Prof...) and a Walker Evens' Polaroid. let's not forget the ladies with works by Helen Levitt, Jan Groover and Nan Golden. but the biggie for me was William Eggleston's NFS gigantic tricycle! it was really cool to see in person. i kind love that image (maybe because i love bikes). i would recommend going to see it if you get a chance.
on second thought i guess just Bess and i will be seeing this one as it came down on the 6th, sorry guys.
