Oh, I almost forgot. Isn't Julia Roberts the director of the art gallery there?

This is a great show to see, there was a thread about this a month or two ago. you can find more info about the show at the bellagio's web site. I know that when I went they told us that some of the prints would change halfway through the run.

I was actually debating on wether or not to make my annual trip to vegas with my buddies this year, this seals the deal!

Went to the exhibit. Tastefully done, with good lighting, and the tope wall color AA favored for his shows. Also a nice section on St. Ansel himself. If you get to Vegas, it is well worth the time and effort.

What is tope wall color?

 

[JBrunner]

What is tope wall color?

Tope is kind of a light brownish grey color. I hope I spelled it right.

 

[mikebarger]

It is a nice selection of work, at least two prints I had not seen before.

Saw several people enjoy trying to see the image of the print under the dark cloth.

I don't know. My knowledge of English ends here. My dictionary says, tope is some kind of shark.

 

[JBrunner]

Maybe St. Weston next year.
