Re: OT -- Tucson, AZ

2005-03-26 by john dean

By far the best thing about Tucson is the Center. I worked there for 3 years when I was in 
school. I used to show the collection to researchers and students. It is an amazing 
collecton if you like early American photography through the say 1980's.  When most of 
the "masters" were still alive. I was there when W.Eugene Smith lived there just before he 
died. You need to make an appointment to spend a couple of days and go throught the 
archive books. Stiegligz, Weston, Cunningham, Smith, Callahan, Siskind, Curtis, WH 
Jackson, Watkins,Muybridge,Caponigro,Gowin,A Adams, Bullock, Sommer, Laughlin much 
of the major work of these people are there. And a lot of stuff from the 50's and 60's like 
Irving Penn, etc..

You need to see Saguaro National Monument West and SNM East. Drive to Gates Pass 
overlooking Old Tucson, the Hollywood western town from a lot of the old movies. And a 
drive up Mount Lemon is nice and cool. Sabino Canyon is on the way up there. Then there 
is the Biosphere???? Is that thing still there? Alien Creatures.

This page design interface looks like an aol product. I don't like it.
