This exhibition really was well done -- even just the simple way it set up Man Ray`s photo of an African sculpture and juxtaposed it with Walker Evans` photo of the same piece to show the different effect of a documentary vs. a surrealist approach. . . We picked up the accompanying catalogue so will spend sometime reading a bit more about it all.<br />Mardel: This must be one of the hardest adjustments to make, the loss of companionship even when your husband is still there. It makes me really strive to appreciate what I`ve got while I can.<br />Karen: If this is the Karen I`m thinking of -- you and your sisters would love this, I think. And so might Miles, given the allotment gardening that features all the way through.materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-54356433083841050842011-01-24T13:21:23.876-08:002011-01-24T13:21:23.876-08:00Thank you for putting Another Year on my list of m...Thank you for putting Another Year on my list of movies.

I think even more though, I miss having someone to discuss the films with, that companionable viewing and discussing, and yes perhaps sharing a bite and a sip as well.Mardelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04850551308931710502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-47604867479476374522011-01-24T07:12:01.834-08:002011-01-24T07:12:01.834-08:00I love it when an exhibition is curated with a lev...I love it when an exhibition is curated with a level of intelligence so that it elucidates and educates and the same time, I saw the worst exhibition ever on Friday, your sounds everything this was not. I have kept my eye out for a cheap DVD of that Mike Leigh film it did sound really good and I have enjoyed all his films over the years. As you say the pace of the film works so well allowing you to linger over the all to often very articulate dialogue. He is a great favourite over here.<br />Your weekend may even top my hectic schedule!indigo16https://www.blogger.com/profile/16982477144454205765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-1087899286117860112011-01-24T06:34:44.268-08:002011-01-24T06:34:44.268-08:00I´m all exhausted having read your weekend schedul...I´m all exhausted having read your weekend schedule!
