Had the pleasure of visiting The Getty Musuem in L.A. recently. The campus is massive with several achetechitally stunning buildings; white, whinding staircases, layers on layers, glass structured.  Among my favorite collection(s) were (as you might guess) photography. I wrote down a few on the back of an old reciept so I could share with you.
At the time of my visit, there were two exibitions: and "A Revolutionary Project: Cuba from Walker Evans to Now." 


Among serveral photographers who were included in the "In Focus:The Tree" Exibition, Myoung Ho Lee   caught my eye. The following are soley samples of his work and may/may not have been included in the exibition because I simply cannot remember.

Lens Culture: Contemporary Photography Magazine shares with us an understanding of Mr. Lee's work: "Simple in concept, complex in execution, he [Myoung Ho Lee] makes us look at a tree in its natural surroundings, but separates the tree artificially from nature by presenting it on an immense white ground, as one would see a painting or photograph on a billboard.

 For millennia the tree has been a symbol of life. Celebrated by most ancient civilizations, the tree has stood for the center of the cosmos and the origin of creation. Represented throughout art and literature, trees feature in the earliest photographs from the 1840s as well as in contemporary works today. This exhibition, drawn entirely from the J. Paul Getty Museum's permanent collection, presents a range of photographs that reveal various artistic responses to the perennial subject. Documenting primeval forests and cultivated nature, these images explore the tree in its many connotations—as a graphic form, an evocative emblem, and vital evidence of the natural world in which we live.
