So I guess it’s been about a week or so since I went to Richard Misrach’s lecture for the opening of his “On The Beach” series at the Henry Art Gallery. I was going there to take photos for the Daily but the artistic side of me kind of wanted to go and check it out for fun. While listening to Misrach talk about his work was pretty cool, there were a few let downs during the whole thing:

• This dude wouldn’t let me take photos during his lecture. I mean come on, we’re running something in a newspaper about your lecture, hook it up a little and at least let me take a picture of you talking.
• After his lecture when we were in the Henry Art Gallery checking out his stuff, I worked up the courage to tell him who I was and what my deal was. We talked a bit and then I started taking photos of him but then he got all shy/skittish.
• Plus a few of the people at the Henry FLIPPED OUT that I was taking photos, even when I was wearing the credential thing they gave me. Ugh, beef.

Anyways, I guess that’s about it, if you want to see the images that ran in the paper, check here. For info about this Misrach dude, click here. To check the HAG website about the show, click here.
