LA-MAF poster
For a couple weeks now, I have been postponing the decision to attend the LA Mobile Arts Festival 2012 (August 18-25) and as you read this, I am on the road driving to Southern California.
Over the next several days I will be covering the exhibit and some of the events, along with meeting with several iPhoneographers I have been exchanging correspondence with or have featured on the Weekly Showcase. One of the pre-events I will participate in, is the Venice Beach Photo-walk (10AM-1PM) earlier Saturday of the LA-MFA shows opening.
I am not sure I can stay till Wednesday for the Apple hosting of The LA MAF as I will need to cover a photo exhibit at The Getty Center on Monday and then a photo shoot on Tuesday.

While in Los Angeles, I will also stop by The Getty Center in order to view their photographic exhibit Picturing Landscape, which runs thru October 7, 2012. The exhibition includes a range of works, from a pre-photographic drawing made with the aid of a camera lucida to a digitally generated print. The installation is divided into three themes: 19th-century technical explorations, the 20th-century turn toward developing a particular camera vision, and the ways that contemporary photographers have framed the landscape to make environmental and conceptual statements.

If time permits, I shall have a closer look at the works by one of my favorite artist Gustav Klimt, a special exhibit also held at The Getty Center.

This major loan exhibition was organized by the Albertina Museum, Vienna, in association with the J. Paul Getty Museum, to mark the 150th anniversary of Klimt's birth. The drawings in this exhibition come mostly from the Albertina, which houses one of the most comprehensive collections of Klimt drawings. They are supplemented by works from the J. Paul Getty Museum, the Getty Research Institute, and a number of generous lenders.
So stay tuned for further bulletins and reports on any of the afore mentioned venues.
