Martine and Me at the Autry Museum
Today, Martine and I stayed as far away from the Black Friday Madness as possible. Instead, we went to the Autry Museum of the American West in Griffith Park. At the #RevolutionaryVision show, we took the above picture, showing a pleasant looking woman and the strange character who photobombed her.
The Autry has been opening some new galleries and updating others. There was a nice exhibit of Mabel McKay’s Pomo Indian basketry, and the usual excellent art of the West. Below is Maynard Dixon’s “Men of the Red Earth”:
“Men of the Red Earth”
Born in Fresno, California, Maynard Dixon (1875-1946) is probably one of the best painters of the American Southwest. Although the museum was founded by Gene Autry, it attempts to present a panoramic picture of the West, including the land, the Western films, the art, the myths, and the environment.
I’ve always thought it an excellent place for travelers from other countries to visit—though I suppose they will continue to troop to Hollywood and be disappointed.

Love your photo!
I just realized when you mentioned Black Friday Madness that I did indeed purchase something yesterday. Stayed home, but couldn’t resist Powells 20% off and free shipping when I found two used hardbacks I’d been watching for.
That sounds more like a Cyber Monday purchase to me: Black Friday is mostly for brick and mortar retailers.
