"Winter 2016" at Weinstein

This afternoon, I took my Digital Photo II class from Hamline to the Weinstein Gallery in south Minneapolis. I hadn't been there to see a show for a while, and this show was packed with big names. So we had to check it out. Here are a few snaps of our visit:

Looking at some lesser-known Annie Leibovitz photos.
(These aren't the style of images that I picture when I think of her work.)


Some classic Mole and Thomas images on the left, and some quirky Elliott Erwitt's on the right.


Mapplethorpe.


Soth.


I've been a fan of Vera Lutter for many years, so it was great to see some of her
one-of-a-kind pinhole paper negatives. My class was intrigued.


Edward Burtynsky had some beautiful images that entranced my students.


Some newer Alec Soth work.

It was a great show. It's up for another 3 weeks, so check it out.

Pictures and Words

The whole point of taking pictures is so that you don't have to explain things with words.

Erwitt Quote

To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.
