The crowd at the Milwaukee Art Museum checks out the hit exhibit, “Impressionism: Masterworks on Paper.”

This show was clearly the big draw this weekend, but — not being much of an old-school impressionism fan — I much preferred photographer Taryn Simon’s “Photographs and Texts” exhibit. Especially impressive was “The Innocents” project, photos of people convicted of crimes they did not commit in locations significant to the events. “The Innocents” was stunning both visually (Wow! How did she do that?!) and mentally (Is our justice system that screwed up?).

Simon’s website is here.

The Brad Paisley version of the album is on sale today, though.

Wowee,this guy could play.

Sample some of the tunes.

The story is good on the “what,” but is totally lacking on the “why.” Somewhere in this story, someone’s making a lot of money.

A general feeling of despair over politics, but feeling pretty strongly that we will muddle through, somehow, no matter what the pols do or don’t do.

And looking for the good things that will get us to the other side of the muddle.
