My photo compadres and I, PPBs, went down to Tucson to take pictures and see a couple of Galleries.  The Etherton Gallery door leads directly to a huge amount of stairs that one must ascend before entering the fold of its collections.  There was a show of Danny Lyon’s work on social documentary subject matter. Then a few blocks away and through large modern doors of glass & metal, at the Center for Creative Photography, they had installed very large prints of Richard Avedon, who is known for fashion and portraiture.  The Hierarchy of these galleries is palatable to the sole persons strolling in for a glimpse of Photography, in this case, history.   The lesson I thought I knew, and relearned, was to visit galleries of other art forms than the one you personally reside in.  Alas, more shooting, lunch, and friends to save the day.
