The Shout

Sometimes my camera has a mind of its own, and throws a blurry picture my way.

Art Museum Part 2

Just a little playing with color and light...and I thought modern art couldn't be functional.

Art Museum

I went to the Art Museum last week to check out the Andy Warhol exhibit (which they wouldn't let me take pictures of it, so it doesn't get its own post) and while I was there went to visit my favorite piece of art in the regular collection. It looks unassuming, just an open suitcase on the floor, until...

You walk up to the suitcase and look in. This isn't the best picture of it, but in the suitcase is a sewer grate, and under the sewer grate is a stream with plants, rocks, and running water. If you're really interrogative in nature, you can walk around the back of the suitcase and see two pairs of feet...

It looks like a dad holding a little kid up over the water as it runs by. I think I love this because it's three things in one, isn't what it seems on the surface and isn't the sort of modern, abstract art that I could do myself at home with rocks or finger paints. Thumbs up for the suitcase.

Colored for a Cure

The Susan G. Komen Race for a Cure (for breast cancer) is tomorrow. The Art Museum is all lit up in celebration of the race, which starts right in front of the art museum, as well as the museum's new Andy Warhol exhibit.

Winter Scene 1

Lies. All Lies.

No one washed this sign away from the Harley 105th. Now that's just false advertising.

Where's Waldo?

Hint: He's the transparent one

Dan at the Museum

Another shot of the bridge at the Art Museum that juts out over Lake Memorial Drive. I messed up the settings on my camera and caught Dan walking towards me. He looks all ghostlike and blurry like this. He thought he looked a little like a subject for an Edvard Munch painting, but I think he looks like a picture in a trendy art magazine ad.

Night at the Museum

Went for a walk tonight with Dan around the plaza surrounding the art museum. I think it's a shame people don't take advantage of downtown Milwaukee more often because it's really quite gorgeous, with ample green space and benches to relax on. It made for a nice shot, but it's just too bad.
