One part of me generally agrees with BD - in the modern photography world circa 2012, what gets most attention in the art photography world are the "artsy" stuff. I think someone here mentioned that Eggelston was the beginning of the end, and I tend to agree. ======================================================= Richard, what were you expecting to see at SFMOMA if not "artsy" stuff? I'm not sure what "artsy" means other than "I didn't like it." Hopefully you weren't looking to see conventional pictorial photography at a venue with "modern art" in it's name. ;-) As for Eggleston, at least he doesn't write or talk about his work unless pressed, and even then it makes him uncomfortable. Take a look. If it doesn't work for you, fine, but it works for the curators of just about every major museum out there, so give that some thought too. -- Phil Swango 307 Aliso Dr SE Albuquerque, NM 87108 505-262-4085
