Yeah, I never have figured out most "art" photos. I have to be moved by content. Guess that is why the documentary traditions are the "art" I love. I spoke to currator at the local La Jolla Museum of Comtemporary Art and he explained that most of the art in the museum were really inside jokes based on other art, so you had to know your art history to understand anything. But I have to get them credit for showing some great art--Salgado's 250 print exhibit of "Workers." But those images were based on inside understanding of life and the human condition, not art. A critical difference. donal - -- __________ Donal Philby San Diego www.donalphilby.com
