We had the opportunity to take a day off and decided to go see Richard Avedon's show at SFMOMA. We parked in Berkeley and rode BART into the city.
I am a huge fan and have a lot of respect for his work, it was great to see it on a larger scale. The show walked you through some early fashion work, to a huge collection of politicians and ended on arguably his most significant work. He turned the same straight forward approach for shooting celebrities onto ordinary people he found along his travels, including a bee keeper from Davis.
After the show we walked the streets for a while passing Macy's as they set up their Christmas tree, and stopped into old hotels. I enjoyed shooting some pictures with Canon's G10 digital camera. This thing is great, it offers full creative control in a very compact and tough design.
