The Bound For Glory show is currently up at the Amon Carter Museum in
Ft. Worth, for anyone in North Texas, as are Robb Kendrick's tintypes
(at the Cowgirl Museum) and Hiroshi Sugimoto at the Modern.

All three are well worth visiting, Sugimoto and Bound For Glory are
incredible. Kodachrome color lends the latter a power that wouldn't
exist in good old B&W.

I would skip the Ketchum landscape exhibit (also at the Amon). They
try to draft some connection with Eliot Porter, but I mostly see
Velvia and images that wouldn't be out place on any number of
pretty-landscape heavy Internet sites and magazines. The silk pieces
were interesting (image taken to a Chinese silk-weaving institute,
which creates a version of the photograph), but there were only two.
