Field Trip to LACMA

The Contemporary Photography class spent the afternoon at LACMA. We met at Chris Burden's Urban Lights installation.  I was all prepared to capture some great shots and found that I had forgotten to slip in a CF card before I left home.  Thankfully, Carol Omata had an extra and was willing to loan it to me.  How does a "real" photographer forget to put a fresh CF card in the camera?   All that ends well....

Here is my favorite image from the set I captured

It makes me feel a little dizzy looking at it from this direction - but it looks nice as a card - may try to print it as a 16x20 and see what it looks like a bit larger.

While we were in the Broad Contemporary Art Museum we met Franklin Sirmins, the department head and Curator of Contemporary Art.  He talked to us a bit about his background and the work he was doing in the museum.  I think we all enjoyed meeting him.
