[Leica] Santa Fe show

[pswango at att.net (Phil Swango)]

I just got back from a day in Santa Fe with friends.  For those planning to
attend the LHSA meeting and/or LUG dinner later this month, there's a
wonderful show of classic photojournalism at the Monroe Gallery (* http://*
www.monroegallery.com), just a few blocks from the meeting hotel (La
Posada).  It centers on the many women who were doing PJ during the middle
decades of the 20th century, including Margaret Bourke-White, Esther Bubley,
Ruth Orkin, Eve Arnold, Berenice Abbott, Lisa Larsen, and others.  It's
quite a strong show, with both vintage and non-vintage prints of some truly
iconic work.  Tina, too bad you aren't going to be there.

Also, as I have already mentioned to some offlist, I will be bringing a
friend to the LUG dinner.  Kris Mills is a working artist (sculptor) and
university art faculty member.  She also works as studio assistant to
photographer Joel-Peter Witkin.  She did most of the background painting for
the Witkin fashion shoot that appeared in the NYT Magazine last year, and
for which my daughter Juliet modeled.

Looking forward to meeting a lot of you there.
