[Leica] Life = Art

[sonc.hegr at gmail.com (Sonny Carter)]

 The guy was a visitor, like me.  I told him that it looked like him; he 
laughed and said "I know!"   I took his picture with his camera, and then he 
posed for me.  I wish I had gotten his name.  The sculpture also resembles 
Jim Nichols. ;-)

It is a great museum, not too big to pass through in a day, the collection 
flows beautifully, and the architecture is a wonder.  There were a couple 
galleries not open as they were changing the exhibit, but I didn't see much 
photography, except a set of three Polaroid 20x24 portraits of  Bill 
Clinton.
