A Getty trip


Photo by William Eggleston

I'd never been before today, but Hanna and I made a quick trip to The Getty before making our drive back down to San Diego today after a weekend away. I went up to Winter and J's place Friday night, hung out all Saturday, then went over Saturday night and hung out with Hanna's fam in Malibu until arriving home just now. The Getty was great. I'm actually not a big fan of the collection they have on display (I'm not an ancient art fan) and all of the photography exhibits were closed, but we spent some quality time on the interactive guide program finding some sweet 20th Century photographers. One specifically, William Eggleston, reminds me quite a bit of the work Lee Friedlander (also a colleague of Eggleston's) does, as well as my own (if I may say so). I'll be posting some pictures Hanna and I both took at the museum, shortly.
