[Leica] Life = Art

[Sonny Carter]

 The guy was a visitor, like me.  I told him that it looked like him; he laughed and said "I know!"   I took his picture with his camera, and then he posed for me.  I wish I had gotten his name.  The sculpture also resembles Jim Nichols. ;-)

It is a great museum, not too big to pass through in a day, the collection flows beautifully, and the architecture is a wonder.  There were a couple galleries not open as they were changing the exhibit, but I didn't see much photography, except a set of three Polaroid 20x24 portraits of  Bill Clinton.
