| friday night we were sitting around after the
jam
and i was drifting away in a thought of hooking the band up with my company's music dept- then like right after that the lead singer brings up sum'n about one of my company's movies...also that night probably drifting again i ended up outside looking at jupiter, saturn and orion in the crisp late night bay air...im a morning person so it felt good to get up and get out..the morning air was so refreshing... |
i left a note for rick to dub the tape,
but it was still in the trooper!! its cool to be able to go to a "strange" place in a strange car and get around with confidence- by the time i hit the san mateo bridge i was blasting the funk from last night and my energy was way up again- zooming 70mph over the bay's 6 mile bridge taking pics & groovin- nothing but water in either direction... |

| i was chillin, no hurry, no map, just a general
idea of direction and enjoying everythang... i was somewhere in san francisco when i had to stop and empty the camera to laptop, so i got a smoothie and i strolled over to radio shack and got a battery for my 35mm minolta 3xi.. im feeling good and i mean im chillin...after a very scenic ride up a hill over looking the golden gate bridge, i arrive at this beautiful roman-like structure... |

i was impressed by this place before i even
got in-$8 admission, grabbed every pamphlet i saw and looked for an updated main floor plan. was kinda lazy mentally so i looked for a cool attendant to give me the inside scoop... i had a pamphlet with a floor plan and as he broke it down to me i scribbled notes of the good stuff by each room... no flash anywhere and no photography at all in special exhibits like the st francis of asisis early christianity exhibit... |
| ok, big surprise here; i was moved most by the
soft toned full figured females of 18th century european art in fact, i have pictures i took of a painting i liked at the venetian in vegas on this website...and the original was in this gallery!!!! also the russian stuff was good to me. major rodin exhibit and the huge painting "the russian bride-" i was struck by this painting because of the trueness of the skin tones. it was softness painted in the form of a soft pale complexioned russian girl with deep black hair and thick black eyebrows..ethnicly beautiful |
