a new favorite.

At the SF MoMA a couple of months ago, we went to see the special exhibit (the Steins' collection of Matisse, Picasso, et. al.) and, as usual, a photography series elsewhere in the museum ended up being my favorite thing in the building.

The Africa images are still on display at the MoMA through October 16th, along with (of course) lots of other good stuff. Get thee there!
