Last month I wrote about seeing eight Mark Di Suvero sculptures at Crissy Field in San Francisco. My post from last week was inspired by a visit to the Art Institute of Chicago and I listed a few of the artworks in the modern wing that I found compelling. It was like visiting old friends, and meeting some new ones. My post addressed just a few of the works I came across that day, things I hadn’t seen in a while, and some I only knew of through publications. It is always inspiring to revisit works, see them afresh, revel in their beauty, and see how they’ve changed in my perceptions and those of others.
The Woman’s Board Grand Staircase
Another visit to that great museum, the Art Institute of Chicago, to see some of the new exhibitions, visit some favorites, and see what works the curators have brought out or installed in new locations. I found a new installation when I went to see how the light was working in the Grand Staircase. Continue reading →
Urban Notes – Digital Snaps

Mark di Suvero at Crissy Field, San Francisco, 2013-14
Mark di Suvero at Crissy Field, San Francisco was an exhibition/installation I was able to spend a few hours, walking among, in, and around, photographing these eight beautiful sculptures by Mark di Suvero.
The exhibition, organized by SFMOMA was on view through May 26, 2014.
It was exciting to experience them throughout the year in different light, wind, and weather. Included with this post are photographs I took in September 2013.

Street Photography Night
One never knows what will be found when walking around an urban environment, especially at night. On some nights the streets are empty and it seems no one is around. On other nights the crowded streets are filled with a wide variety of people walking, talking, weaving in and out of the shadows. Walking around downtown Olympia, shooting images with DavidF on a hot summer night in August 2013, we found ourselves in an alley by the freewall of the Olympia Film Society. Thanks to MM.
