Snuck away from Oracle Open World to take in Avedon at SF MoMA for a few minutes this afternoon.

It takes a village to raise an expanded museum! Webcor’s team never ceases to impress SFMOMA’s staff as we look out on the building progress from our temporary offices on Minna, which are at the back of the expansion site (you can see our windows at the center of this photo).

We love this gorgeous photo of building components being craned into place.

On my very first morning in the City by the Bay, I crossed off one of my key MO when I visit a major city: go to my place of worship. While many still get spiritual bliss in medieval churches or ancient temples, I find the sublime in other human creativity and creations. And SFMoMA delivered in giving me my fix. Its wide collection and current exhibits inspired this visitor to see visions of Frisco that I wouldn't otherwise have seen.

I'm really quite impressed with the Canon SD870 IS. Really impressed...

Expansion dispatch of the week: here we see the existing SFMOMA opened up from the back, exposing the point from which our original galleries will seamlessly flow into our new Snohetta-designed space.

 

Fun fact: this view of the Botta turret is unique to our construction phase, and won’t be seen again once our expansion is complete.

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.
