Friedlander
If you’re in the Bay Area and have an inkling of interest in photography as art, go see the Friedlander exhibit that just opened at the SFMOMA. Robin and I went to the opening reception last Friday. It’s incredible.
There’s a quote by Jackson Pollack upon looking through a catalogue of Picasso’s work: ”God damnit. That guy thought of everything.” It’s like that. What an amazing diversity of subject matter and creative vision, over 400 photographs in a career spanning half a century. And I’ve never seen a photographer with a better visual sense of humor–truly a delight. I am both captivated, intimidated, and frustrated–I want to be that good!
Robin’s started calling me “Kinney-lander” now. I take it as both a playful teasing about my obsession with photography and affectionately calling me to live out my potential.
Personally, I take Robin’s nickname as a comment to your amazing photography skills!. Seriously, you’ve got a really great eye. : )
