Jazz Loft Project Exhibition at MOPA

MOPA's exhibition of W. Eugene Smith's Jazz Loft Project is in its final couple weeks, closing on October 7th.  This is an outstanding exhibition and worth the visit.  I was most amazed with how perfect Smith's working prints are.  The design of the exhibition is outstanding, not only do you see fininished product but the process how Smith got there.  If you have a chance to catch this before it ends do so.

Henry Diltz - Morrison Hotel Gallery





Famed Rock 'n Roll Photographer Henry Diltz , Morrison Hotel Gallery, lecturing at Medium. Another awesome lecture, lucky to catch the last part of it after David Taylor's lecture going on at the same time. Henry's openness and story telling are fantastic. The value of this festival has been huge. Mary Virginia Swanson up next speaking on Presenting your Work to the Fine Art Community.

Mary Virginia Swanson , author of Publish Your Photography Book lecturing at Medium. Awesome person and a great book. If you have DIY or major publishing project ideas this book is a perfect resource. She covers important topics which can make or break a project.

Medium Festival of Photography




Great start to the festival, awesome behind the scenes tour of MOPA. I always knew their exhibition space was great but had no idea how incredible their library is. I saw Winogrand images in one book I have never seen before (Thanks Holland!). If you like photography and are in San Diego you need to venture over to Balboa Park and spend some time at MOPA.
