Reflections
The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, otherwise known as the SFMOMA is a terrific museum and SF resource. They always put up interesting shows and have a great photography collection. They were actually one of the first museums to begin acquiring photography and to consider it a “fine” art. I am proud to say I am on the museum’s website. Ok, not my work but my picture. My friend Rachel and I enjoyed going to the 75th anniversary show opening party about a month ago. The line was around the block to get in but a waffle truck and pre-drinking helped to make it all the more fun. Once we got in we were greeted with free drinks, live bands, and a photo booth.
I happen to have stumbled upon our photo on their website when looking for this John Collier Jr photo which I fell in love with after my recent visit to the photography show, The View From Here. I highly recommend the show which is a well curated history of California and photography. And it is open until June 27th, so no excuses. There are so many gems in the show but this one stood out. It reminded me of the product photography job I was working on last week. Photography is all about light. Beautiful diffused window light seeping into the cracks of an old barn, yes.
But also damn reflections everywhere. Here are some unintentional self portraits of the artist at work.
