Center for Creative Photography — Attraction in Tucson

It was fun to visit. I can't say it was worth my time due to the exhibit. They had some 70s graphic images printed on magazine pages displayed. I kinda disagree it is photography. Art 'maybe! Photography is kind of cut and dry.... simple if you may. This is what makes appreciating it so fun. Most of the images were very lewd. Art can be so at times. The experience is very subjective first and thus I was slightly offended for 2 reasons. First, (oddly) this is not photography.... second, these were traditionally printed on magazine ads that may have been left in doctors offices in the 70s and children may have handled the books. Otherwise, I get the artist's point and agree with his point of view. I'm not trying to review the exhibit here as much as I'm trying to say.... Why on earth did I not see more photography? Poor choice! Wasted my journey down to see this. I guess in this case, the journey was the reward. The destination sucked. Clean your act up guys! Even if you had nude people in photography, I could clearly appreciate...

I went here with my 3 crazy little siblings and we left a little early. The art was...different in a way that I can not explain. If you choose to go there only let your child look at the pictures! There are also a few that may be considered inappropriate for any age. The reason for not letting your child read about the picture is because one says and I quote "made love and got dressed and went to go get food". So on one side I think you should go to it while your kid is at school and see for your self that I can't explain on Google Maps! Good...

We missed the Richard Avedon exhibition. Bad planning... my bad! We visited before the next exhibition was ready. On the walls of the single room, the limited Weston stuff is offset with other people's work. It was interesting, but given the apparent scale of the archives, a permanent exhibition of "crown jewels" for me, would have been better. Adams, Killip and Eugene Smith stuff is "hidden" in drawers (the drawers don't slide easily... which, rather than make it a journey of discovery, is more an exploration of controlled strength versus amount of noise related to the desire to open the actual drawer given the artist's name on the label... perhaps that's the measure of the desire to see the...
