Yesterday I drove out to Muskegon to see the Weston show at the Muskegon Museum of Art. It is a fantastic show. I did a write-up about it on my blog, so I won't reiterate everyuthing here. If you are within a few hours drive, it is a must see. http://randomphoto.blogspot.com/

Went out with my daughter, and two local flickr members, and we had a great time. The snow has all melted, it was sunny, above freezing, so afterwards we spent some time shooting in downtown Muskegon and on the Lake Michigan shoreline. A definite treat for January...

Yesterday I drove out to Muskegon to see the Weston show at the Muskegon Museum of Art.Mark!

Thanks for the reminder on this. I will make a point to go.

Nice BLOG too! I will add you to my links.

ooh, baby

ROAD TRIP !

Its an excellent show. I have seen it twice and will again.
Jim

Yes thanks for the reminder. Looks like it's time for a drive.

I'm heading west. Sounds like a good show. Eddie Weston has been a photo-hero of mine since I was in jr. high way back in 1968-9. Even though I was a typically brain-damaged adolescent, I recognized that his nudes were something special.
Bill

JEEEEZE! I totaly had a brain fart and forgot, MLKs B-day seems like a good enough day for a road trip. Thanks for the post.

Better make sure they will be open -- I believe they are closed on Mondays, like many museums.

Heck, I was born there and a few family members there...might be a good reason to visit!
How long does the show run for?

I believe Feb 5th is the last day.

Is this the same show that was recently in Rochester at George Eastman House?

Earl

When it was in Maine I saw it twice. It was a 400 mile drive oneway. It's that good.

OK, the Edw Weston show in Muskegon closes Feb 5th

I'm going to be there the 4th.

Anyone else ?
.

pretty sure I can make it.
Jim

pretty sure I can make it.

we'll come out on friday night
and hit the museum early... probably be able to identify each other
( i'll be standing in the puddle of sweat in front of some pictures... )

funny hours, 10 am ~ 4:30 pm

maybe we can share a lunch break ?

I will be there early Saturday and would like to meet you and any other apugers. A good place for lunch might be Turk's in Nunica, just a few miles east of Muskegon on 96. Maybe hit it on the way out of town.

I hope that anybody that has any interest in EW would see this show. It is outstanding with excellent prints and good lighting. I even purchased a museum membership as a way to support, and say thanks, for having this exhibit.

Gary and Jim (ggriffi + Gim) met me at the Edw Weston show yesterday, and here we are, pictured below. More proof that we all tend to work on the proper side of the camera !

The show is beyond description: see it if you can !

If you haven't spent time with some real Edw Westons,
you have no clue what B&W is about: we ALL stand on his shoulders.

( looking through the sofa cushions for spare some change ...
for the Lodima book ... )
