The Denver Art Museum (The DAM) recently installed a new exhibit in its photography gallery called "Common Threads." It features the works of German portrait and documentary photographer August Sander and Malian portrait photographer Seydou Keita. This is an excellent exhibit and the portraits featured are wonderful. I can't say the same for the previous exhibit, which featured photographs mainly of dirty tablecloths with half-eaten food on them. I can't remember exactly what the curator said made those photographs so significant, but to me it was all a crock. Although I have to say, that exhibit did give me an idea for producing some museum quality photographs. I just need to stop throwing out the garbage.
