The walkway

at the High Museum of Atlanta.  A vertigo challenge when standing at the top and looking down.

I drove the 6 hour round trip to Atlanta today to see an exhibit of photographs by Walker Evans and Vic Munoz.  Both were interesting but I was kind of disappointed in the the Evans exhibit.  Because of the type of photo paper etc, the lighting was very dim.  Some of the photos were very tiny, about 3 inches max and you can not see the detail well because of the light.  Some of the photos showcased the south during the depression and also 1930's Cuba which were very vivid in showing the lives of the people.  In the extras,  a photo of me beside one of the large signs outside the museum depicting a Walker Evans photo.

 Vic Munoz has an incredible creativity that was just so different from anything I have ever seen or ever thought of. He made photos of famous photos that had been piece together from other media..like paper, cloth, etc.    Well worth a Google search to look at him if interested.Two very different types of photographers. 

We toured all the areas of the museum and at one location there were nothing but shoes..sneakers, hightops and other athletic shoes.  Strange!

I was really happy to see original paintings by Thomas Moran, Renoir and Monet.   It is very different seeing these 100 year old painting in person than just on a computer screen.   

There was a whole floor of abstract art..some so far out I just couldn't get it!   A really outstanding mirror wall that we had fun standing in front of and taking photos of our fractured reflections.  Another mirror that was painted..I took a "selfie" in that one..it is in the extras.

We were able to take photos of all the art!  So as soon as I get a look see at everything  I may post a few in tomorrow's extras. 

A wonderful museum in the middle of downtown Atlanta...a traffic nightmare with one way streets and parking underground!   But I survived the drive and only made about 5 wrong turns.   We actually walked around the block looking up at all the skyscrapers that were mixed in with old buildings from the 1800's.  A little street photography which is way outside my normal camera mode!
