| Cityscape and Architecture, SF and Berkeley Spring 2002 |
Saw two amazing photography shows this Spring: Migrations: Photographs by Sebastiao Salgado, at Berkeley Art Museum Edward Weston: The Last Years in Carmel, at SF MOMA Photographers are like thieves, they steal what touched their souls. And here are some attempts at collecting my own booties... |
| Berkeley Art Museum was built in the 60's (opened in 1970). Its modern design and rough concrete interior is very Berkeley. I was intrigued by its layered terraces. Salgado's exhibit extended to all five levels of its gallery rooms. I didn't notice the climbing till I was at the very top, the end of the exhibition. Looking down, the museum looks like a maze. Unknowing viewers became exhibits themselves. Neat. | |||||

| I rarely go IN Sony Metreon's shopping maze, but the glassy and concrete exterior are interesting. | |||||

 |
 |
||
| The famous "zebra lines" of SF MOMA... | ...and some interesting curves, too. | ||||
