The Museum of Photographic Arts



I was able to go down to Balboa park this past Sunday, and explored The Museum of Photographic Arts, a museum that I have not previously visited. I saw a lot of great images, but the one that caught my attention the most was called "Ariel view: Downed trees - 8 miles NW of Mt. St. Helens, Washington," by Frank Gohlke; 1981. I really liked the mood of the piece, it was absent of people, and just showed this entire mountainside that had been obliterated by the eruption. I liked looking at many of the other pieces but this was the only one that created the feeling that I like in a picture.
