Spent some time getting to know Denver yesterday. The art museum is top notch. It was a nice surprise to see several Larry Clark and Diane Arbus photos lining the walls. And the paintings in their permanent collection are incredible... Amedo Mogliani, Henri Matisse, Marc Chagall, Claude Monet, Auguste Renoir, Georgia O'Keefe... I lost three hours in there, but gained a healthy dose of art and culture.
After that, I spent the rest of the day breathing. Laying down in a park, watching the clouds move overhead, feeling the grass moving under my feet. Remembering that sometimes the grass is greener on the other side.
Melissa,
ReplyDeleteso stoked you are going it alone, took off to cover the convention. good job. the pictures are strong too. but i have to say, something is rotten in the state of denmark when one of the countries' top photojournalists has to use up vacation time to go cover an event so important. i think that's ridiculous. fine, not the st. pete times, but at least paris match or something. good grief. i am joking. have fun. you are killing it. say hi to slaby.
sinceremente,
victor
That leaf picture is really cool. Good use of the F-stop I think. If you like Chagall, Renoir and all those artists, you should check out these guys:
