RICHARD AVEDON Photographs 1946-2004

I attended the Avedon exhibit at the SFMOMA this past week.  It was a truly amazing collection of photographs by one of America's greatest portrait photographers. Shows like this remind you how impressive large prints in person really are and how much detail is lost in looking at these photographs in a book or online.  There are still a few days left, so don't miss this exhibit.  It is on display until November 29, 2009.  Here are a few favorites:

Roads? Where we're going we don't need roads.

I saw the 'Back to the Future' DeLorean driving on the freeway in San Diego on Friday the 13th.  Classic.   



  "Are you telling me that you built a time machine... out of a DeLorean? "



Looks like they've added some upgrades since 1985, like iPOD compatibility.
