We had made plans for a trip to the McNally exhibit, expecting the exhibit to take about 45 minutes. We actually found ourselves done with (and emotionally drained) after about 2 hours! An excellent show with the original large-scale Polaroids from 10 years ago, along with many new photos showing a "where are they now" sort of comparison. Very touching, and if you can make it out there before the 12th when the exhibit ends, you should definitely try to.
We then sauntered over to the MAD Museum, which was a short walk from the first location. Well, perhaps "sauntered" is not the correct word. We ran as fast as we could, through the torrential downpour, sharing our one sad excuse for an umbrella. The Museum of Art and Design has a 2 floor exhibition titled "Otherworldly" art. Miniatures and dioramas of buildings, workshops and landscapes. Excellent collection on display - post-apocalyptic, eccentric at time, and just outright inventive.
Unfortunately, due to the forthcoming rain, I decided to leave the camera and strobe at home. No reason to bother getting us both drenched for a simple practice shot. Once the weather clears up, hopefully around Friday, I plan on working with the flash in manual mode instead of ETTL to try and obtain accurate fill-flash shots on a sunny day.
Tomorrow is another night at the comedy club to watch my friends up on stage working on their sets. I hope to bring my 5D out, weather pending, to grab a few more shots of them. If it's as dead as it was last week, perhaps I'll bring the strobe and try to get some appropriate headshots of them.
