Lonesome
I stumbled into this Mapplethorpe image on Brian Huff's blog and it pretty much sums up how I am feeling tonight...lonesome and sleepy.

Anyway, I had a great meeting today with Natasha Eagan, Associate Director of the Museum of Contemporary Photography. She turned me on to Eirik Johnson's work, which I was vaguely aware of but seriously under appreciated. Very interesting stuff.
I also got a sneak peak at the up coming MoCP exhibition Loaded Landscapes, and it looks great. For me, the genre of landscape is almost always best viewed in person on a gallery wall, and this show is no exception. Landscapes so often loose complexity and fall apart on a computer screen or in a book so make the effort and go check it out IN PERSON. You won't regret it.
