SFMOMA

Happy New Year!

 

On the last day of 2006, I went to the SFMOMA.

 

Before the crowds got heavy on this holiday weekend, I got to the museum to catch the Tina Modotti and Edward Weston exhibition. Almost missed it, as it's gone after tomorrow. I went solo, so as not to drive my wife insanse by looking at every inch of every print on the wall. Have to admit, I almost went insane today. :) It was amazing, and as I ventured to the rest of the gallery after scanning the Modotti and Weston prints, I saw two HUGE Candida Hofer prints 5'x5' easy.

 

Stood there for a few, and decided at that point, I was going to take pictures wherever I could in the museum till I fill my only 2 rolls of 400tx.

 

This is the first in the series. Starting at the top of the SFMOMA. Still feeling the sting from seeing one of my favorite Cindy Sherman's on that top floor, I stood in the center of the walkway, and almost attracted a crowd while I stood with both arms holding a medium format camera straight into the air as I were offering it to the structure above.

 

When I explained to security that I was aiming the camera 'up', and not at the art, they were cool, and wished me luck.

 

The camera was upside down, almost directly above my head.
