On Monday, March 13th, Steve, Gary and I decided to head to San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. (We wanted to also hit the Museum of the Africian Diaspora; but it was closed.)
I wanted to see 2 exhibits. The Calder exhibit and the exhibit on photographs from the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake. Both exhibits were good and the earthquake exhibit is worth a visit; just for the picture of the street grid devoid of building taken from a zeppelin out over the bay. I have to find a copy of that for myself. I think my favorite find was a book in the museum that showed a picture from 1906 on the left page and a picture from 2002 on the right, taken from the same location, angle, etc.
After the museum, we crossed the street and wandered the Buena Yerba gardens and I, ofcourse, took some pictures. You can see them below.
I really want to thank Steve and Gary for being fantastic hosts and spending the weekend visiting museums, going to dinner, arguing about cosmic rays and junk DNA, etc. I really appreciate it and it made my time in San Francisco soooooooo much better. Thank you guys!
