At 10am, Sang gave me a ride to my professor's house, where her two photography classes gathered for breakfast before leaving for san francisco. We spent the day in San francisco visiting various art galleries and enjoying photography by both big and small names. I returned to Berkeley at around 2.

I was originally going to go to SF MOMA with the class, but decided to head back before it because I have so much work.

The round trip was $7 on BART, which is much more convenient than I thought it would be. The whole process was very efficient, and is much easier than driving there on the freeway over the bridge.

For the rest of the day, I met up with the others who were studying in the library. At around 7 or 8, we left the library, got dinner, and brought it to princeton review, where we studied until around 11.

Breakfast was bagels and orange juice. We also were briefed on the schedule for the day, and what we were to do if we got separated from the group.

From there, we walked 10 minutes or so to the north berkeley bart station, and purchased our tickets there.

Some of the galleries were interesting, some were boring, and some were weird. I really enjoyed Lee Friedlander's "America By Car" exhibition at the Fraenkel Gallery. Lee Friedlander is a very well known photographer, and this exhibition was a series he did on documenting america from inside his car, meaning everything he shot on the outside was framed by his car window. An interesting aspect of the photographs was the way he was able to throw in additional information using the side rear view mirrors.

A different exhibition at Cameraworks wasn't as good. They had two large pieces of "art" on display by a japanese artist. One of them was a japanese suicide submarine/torpedo that was created out of thousands of photographs of the actual submarine put together.

Another huge display on the wall was thousands of photographs of a ship deck stitched together by hand. It was a portion of the ship on which the japanese surrender was signed that was struck by a kamikaze plane.

The artist that made the pieces passed away shortly after, but another one of his "unique aspects" is that his works are destroyed after some time. He believes that since they came out of nothing, they should return to nothing. His torpedo piece will be burned somewhere in the bay area soon.
