SFMoMA, free first tuesday, April 09

Went to the SFMoMA free first tuesday yesterday for a quick visit from 4 to 5:45.

Was pretty unimpressed until we got to the SECA Art Awards Exhibit and the Face of Our Time | Four Shows exhibits.
The former is up until May 10th, the latter, April 26th. Go see them.
Here are some samples (it's still so strange to be allowed to take photos in museums - I feel like I'm breaking a rule...)

Next month, I hope to spend more time there... I think the permanent photo collection needs a bit more perusing.
