Too fast to love, too young to die -- mp3 update.

I'm just getting home from the Maison Europeenne de la Photographie which was spectacular. Its free wednesday nights (so is the Louvre) so I took the opportunity to go check it out. I saw one gallery on the first floor briefly that wasn't that impressive. But the second floor was entirely dedicated to Martine Barrat, who, I am now totally mesmerized by. The works were so perfect its hard to put into words. The energy and emotion in her photography was truly breathtaking. There was no moral slant, no pretensions, nothing, the photos spoke for themselves.

These little web images doesn't do her work justice.

This was the only floor I really saw at the gallery. There was a Larry Clark exhibition on the floor above but I was only there a few minutes then the gallery closed. I think its for the best, one artist at a time.
