Office Hours are a total success.
Office hours included a variety of visitors: artists, communists, activists, lesbians, students and the final visitor was Max, my neighbor and produce guy at the Acme. I was thrilled that Max came and we talked about a lot of stuff. I was thrilled to hear that he was excited about La Corona, which is right across from his work place. And he brought a tape recorder because he had recorded a dream about me, which included me wearing a brown corduroy pants suit with a matching hat.
Timothy popped in to his office to ask for a raise, which I don't believe I'm authorized to give. But maybe I am... I'll ask around.

Today I'm taking Allan to the airport, and I have been remiss in giving a shout out to Sally Stein and Allan Sekula who I love very, very much. I'm so grateful that they came for the opening and the panel discussion. Thanks to Sally for writing an incredible essay included in Ten Years, "How Do We Look: Counter-Intuitive Prompts and Probes in Zoe Strauss's Resurgent Social Documentary Photography." It was an incredible honor to have her write an essay for the catalog.
Here's two other great places to read Sally's writing:
John Gutmann
The Photographer at Work
By Sally Stein
Montage and Modern Life: 1919-1942
Which includes a knock out of an essay by Ms. Stein.
Thanks to Allan for screening The Forgotten Space in Philadelphia.
I love you guys.

Two Superb Allan Sekula Events
The Demonstrators Also Waited: Allan Sekula in Conversation with Kaja Silverman
Tuesday, January 17, 2012
Starts at 6:30 p.m.
Slought Foundation
4017 Walnut St.
Philadelphia, PA
Free
Space is limited and on a first come first serve basis.
The title of this event comes from a short essay written by Kaja Silverman about Allan Sekula's Waiting For Tear Gas, a slide show consisting of 81 images taken in Seattle during protests against the World Trade Organization in the autumn of 1999. In Waiting For Tear Gas, Sekula records "the lulls, the waiting, and the margins of the events." Photographing without a flash, telephoto zoom lens, or auto-focus, he refuses the pressure "to grab at all costs the one defining image of dramatic violence." Instead he presents us with a sequence that evokes the slow time of conflict in the street where the orchestration of police operations opens onto moments of uncertainty. These are scenes where everyone's role is pre-determined, but no one is quite sure how things will actually proceed. The conversation between Sekula and Kaja Silverman will be an occasion to ask how a work like Waiting For Tear Gas appears now in the light of the politics of occupation that have taken hold in our own moment, as well as a time to consider the shifting relationship between photography and temporality in Sekula's larger body of work on the operations of global capitalism.
