D'you want some extra vinegar with that? Sheesh.If they want "Western" authenticity, they should re-stage an actual Texas cattle feed lot in Paris too.
Wow. That's amazing. Since the two shows will overlap for part of the time and the Amon Carter show is only 40 prints out of 103 while the Fondation HHCB is the entire series, there is a bit of a different experience to be had. Reading the Paris announcements, it looks like the prints shown there will be the ones used to make the book, so none of the giant prints will be there. It also seems like both shows will have a lot of additional material documenting the series, but Houston will have the Laura Wilson shots, not Paris.At the Amon Carter Museum (Fort Worth).

..... but Houston will have the Laura Wilson shots, not Paris.
Yeah. Texas.I guess you mean Fort. Worth.
My state, NM, is adjacent to TX, but I always feel apprehensive when going there.Would love to see the work, but not TX.
I will not go to Texas either.
As in the SUV?I might if it were still possible to see Bronco tearing across the Texas plain

As in the SUV?
I've been to Dallas once on a business trip along with my boss at the time. He darn near ended up in an ambulance from all the cigarette smoke in the restaurants and hotel lobbies. I mean, if the rest of Texas is like that, I'm be surprised to see anyone over 30 still alive - two cigarettes in the same mouth, another in a nostril, and at least one in each ear. It sure ain't the West. At least the real cowboys I grew up with smoked only one raunchy Old Gold at a time. They called 'em "coffin nails".
Myself, I almost went into shock from the "nothingness," looking out the highrise hotel window. No mountains, no forests, no nuthin'. What do people do there on weekends? But they were friendly. Just don't lean on a handrail in the convention center stairway. It's liable to fall right off. I've seen little pictures on a wall better supported.
Good Lord. What year was that? 1960? Most of Texas is non-smoking in public places and in most bars. Some of you need to get out more.

It is a shame it won't be the complete show, only 40 out of the 124 original. I wonder if they will be showing any of the large prints?I'm hoping to make it over there in the next couple weeks. I peeked in behind the dividers when I was there a couple weeks ago. I saw a handful of them when they brought them back out two years ago. It will be nice to see them all side by side this time.
The camera store I work for partnered with the museum on their Second Thursday event this month and I got to take (unfortunately not 8x10s) digital images in the style of Avedon for patrons who chose to have their photograph made. It was fun to be a part of all that.
