The photographs at Facades – Grand Tour at the Yossi Milo Gallery was simply amazing. It’s not because of the pictures but the effort and work went into creating those pictures.Each picture was created by putting together thousands of photographs. No matter where you stand too look at the photos it seems like that’s the center of the picture. That’s truly amazing.
Jeffrey Millstein’s leaning out displays a lot of aerial photography. The pictures are very nice but at some extent I feel like that the photographs were over edited. The composition and and the subject of most of the photos were very nice and pleasing.

Exhibition: Scenes from the Blackout (Photographer: Stan Douglas)
This galley showed us photographs of an event where New York City had a power blackout. I really love this exhibition. The photos were beautiful and very thought out. Every single one of them were eye-catching. I really loved the one where the woman was stuck in the elevator.
The facade photographs by Markus Brunetti were amazing but only after learning how they were made.
You might be right that some of the Millstein photos were over edited but the one you selected was not. the color is not oversaturated and the haze is palpable. The sense of density of LA as it goes on for miles is intense. I don’t know if I would call it nice or pleasing. It is more of a cautionary tale.
I asked for a response to three exhibitions so this is incomplete.
