Speaking of photography (god forbid!), one recent fav of mine is Joel
Sternfeld.  Anyone who can catch his "stranger passing" exhibit (it was at
the SF Moma until recently, great show) should.  Poignant and hilarious
stuff.  Picture rooms of 40x50 portraits of seemingly ordinary people in
ordinary settings...with a few discrete oddities thrown in that shake up the
composition and leave the viewer with all sorts of ruminations of the nature
of portraiture, to say nothing of chortling.  Great stuff!

Here's a quickie review:
