Sounds like an opportunity for a Detroit PDML day.

It's worth mentioning that this exhibit is moving to the Detroit

of Arts in October - the 18th I think.

Concurrently, the DIA has a collection of their own works depicting
the
first 100 years of photography 1840-1940. Some really iconic images
there. A
worthwhile double-header if you are in the neighborhood.

Nice work. You're an excellent ambassador for the PDML.

I just got back to Boston after my trip to NYC for the Pentax K-X
intro. It was a cold and wet ride, but not *extremely* cold or wet. I
think Triumph misnamed the Sprint because that bike's definitely a
marathon runner (though a very, very fast one)! Best motorcycle ever,
IMHO :-)
The intro was held at the International Center of Photography on 6th
Ave at 43rd street and it's definitely worth a visit if you get the
chance. Their current exhibit is on the work of Richard Avedon, who
is
not one of my favorite photographers - but that's probably all the
more reason to have a look at his work, I thought to myself. I was
quite surprised at how much of it I liked. The thing is, it was all
his really *early* stuff that really seemed good to me. The exhibit
had the photographs grouped by time periods and the later the year
the
less I liked his work. He seemed to have figured out what sold, at
one
point, and then stopped experimenting and growing. In his later work
he seemed to be imitating his own "Richard Avedon style" (though very
well!) I once read an article that suggested that Liza Minelli has,
in
effect, become a Liza Minelli impersonator; I think Richard Avedon
became a sort of photographic equivalent of that.
All the prints looked fabulous, by the way, but particularly the
earlier ones, to my eye. I doubt Avedon was a darkroom kind of guy so
I wondered who did his printing. Whoever it was did a superb job.
