Carlton Watkins
November 9, 2008I got on an art kick yesterday and ran up to the Getty Museum to check out the exhibit of Carlton Watkins. He was one of the first to photograph the West and his work using a camera the size of a small Volkswagen 
is beyond belief. How he hiked that thing up and down the mountains and wilderness is almost as amazing as the images themselves. Highly recommended show if you’re in the area. After that I buzzed on over to the Orange County Museum of Art to see the latest developments in the contemporary art scene. It was a Dud. I don’t think I saw one thing that interested me or one really fresh idea. The show is called the California Biennial (which I have loved in years past) and you’ll miss nothing if you skip it and wait till next season in my humble opinion.
On another non-baseball related side note, I’d like to add another book to my All-Time list. It’s called “Letters To My Son” and I can’t give it enough stars. This book is overflowing with simple, concise wisdom and advice on how to navigate the turning points in one’s life. If I would’ve only had this one when I was 16! Highly recommended for all fathers, sons, and daughters.

Thanks, I’ll check into it.
