June, I would pay money to have you lead a tour through target.

And my dear, the Getty has ruined all of us.

Michael, thanks for the link to Ansel’s LA series…cool to see what he shot in an urban setting.

As far as a museum tour goes, that would indeed rock, but I’m hardly the person to lead it. Alas, at this point in my life, I am qualified only to lead a tour of…..ummmm…..Target?

I recently took my teenage nieces and nephew to the Crocker Art Museum here in Sacramento. Sigh. It’s quaint. (The Getty has ruined me a bit.)

I think we say “art of war” entirely metaphorically. At least I do.

Mike… you weren’t paying attention in Medieval Music History, eh? I was going to come up with one of those guys for my 3, but decided I’d have to pull out a book or search online, and that’s WAY too much work.

Now see, that’s what I’m talking about! 3 names I didn’t know, but should have, who radically changed the direction of thier craft. Thanks, Phil.

Nah… just not smart enough to remember the basic conditions.

Oy vey….

I believe I should withdraw from further aesthetic conjecture, being unable to meet normative conditions for philosophical discourse… like the ability to remember more than one thing at a time.

OK.. try this.

I keep forgetting the “must be dead” part. I’m more of a “color outside the lines” kind of girl.

June, you need to come down to LA and lead all of us on a Museum tour. I think that would rock.

Have you seen Ansel Adam’s “Lost LA” series of photographs? All urban sketches, some sad, some ironic, some just starkly beautiful, all shot in Los Angeles. A guy dug through the LA library archives and ran across them, posted scans up on flickr here.
