"Timing is everything," as the old saying goes, and this maxim definitely holds true for travel.  This summer (before August 23) is the perfect time to travel to San Francisco.  Not only is the weather incredibly temperate right now (sunny with highs in the mid-60's to low-70's), but there are two amazing photo exhibits on display at the SFMOMA.

 

From now until August 23, Robert Frank's The Americans celebrates the 50th anniversary of the publication of Frank's seminal book by displaying prints of all 83 images in the order established by the book.  Super cool.

 

And Richard Avedon: Photographs 1946-2004 will be on display until November 29.  All of you who have hung out with Team Elledge know that we are all huge fans of his work.  If you see his portrait of Bob Dylan in Central Park from 1965 in person, it will change your life.  And his self-portrait from 1980 is iconic in it's own right.

 

Don't miss out on an unbelievable opportunity to see TWO incredible shows in one location.  If you do go, Paul highly recommends that you take a few moments to stop and enjoy a New Orleans iced coffee in the SFMOMA's new rooftop sculpture garden - they are incredible!
