If you happen to be coming through Lawrence, KS between now and Dec. 11, 2005 stop in at the Spencer Museum of Art on the KU campus, and see the Lee Friedlander show "At Work".

It's a touring show so it may be coming to a town near you.

I finally got a chance to go and check this show out today. The photographs were environmental portraits of people working. Most were shot wide angle very close to the subject. The older photos were mostly factory workers, and the more recent photos computer/information workers. All BW printed 11"x14", some a little bigger, some a little smaller.

I really enjoyed it, and plan on visiting again when I can spend more time. While I got a sense of oddity that felt like Friedlander, these photos were different from any of his other photos that I had seen before.

If you don't get the opportunity to visit the show, check out the book.
