My family is on vacation in Colorado visiting my wife’s parents, so I used the last day they were away to get into San Francisco and see what’s being shown at 49 Geary St. For non-San Franciscans, 49 Geary holds four floors of art galleries, including seven that specialize in photography. (Chelsea features multiple buildings like this in NYC. Sigh.) I had a great afternoon and got to see several amazing shows. At several points I found myself smiling involuntarily I was so pleased.
I’ll be posting short reviews later this week, but here’s a list of what I saw, in no particular order:
