So this post is all about regular people who have for whatever reason, taken things to the next level. Each of these characters began life as a regular person and became something more. As always, the all of my LACMA Netsuke images and labels are visible in their Flickr set, also, I’ve started a [...] I managed to make a quick visit to LACMA to visit the netsuke room in the Japanese Pavilion, the day before their presentation of 18th & 19th century netsuke went down. I didn’t know that they even changed things out there before. The netuske room at LACMA is possibly an ideal display solution [...] I shot a ton of stuff during my visit to the Legion of Honor in San Francisco, and I’ll go on and on about what a bitchin’ place it is when I get to the bulk of the stuff in the next post or so. The first thing I did when we got there [...] Just after returning to town from SF, I got a message from Alex Lilly. He was having an opening that night in LA and wanted to remind me, which is good, as I was too jet lagged and tired to otherwise remember where and who I was supposed to be. Jancar Gallery I hadn’t [...] It’s been a few months since my last trip to the de Young, and I managed to squeeze in a quick, almost closing time visit to the museum, after spending an afternoon at the Legion of Honor. My opinion of the museum remains – it somehow seems incredibly badly organized and I’ve become convinced [...] I just spent two days doing studio visits and meeting with artists in San Francisco, and I returned to the Asian Art Museum with a little more time to look and a roomier compact flash card in my camera. I shot a lot of stuff last time, so this time I really just focused [...] Well, I had a preliminary look at an amazing collection of work by Myrna, spanning multiple eras, on Monday. There was some amazing stuff, and I’ll be making a separate trip to photograph and document it all. The most interesting thing (to me) were three photos of Myrna that were with the collection. I’ve [...] My fixation on the artwork of Myrna Shiras continues. Some folks have started contacting me about Myrna and her work after finding the images I put up on Flickr via Google. I love how Google can bring people together when search terms about obscure things are involved. One of the people that’s contacted [...] I never saw the Old Old Getty Villa, so I’ve got nothing to reference the design of the new one, but I finally got my ass in there and was able to enjoy the collection. It’s got to be one of the stranger museums, being built around such a narrow collection with what amounts [...] |
