I went to the art museum today to check out an Edward Weston exhibit.

Behind that exhibit I found another funny exhibit by Duane Michals. I'm not sure if there are any art freaks on the board
that may be familiar with his work. I thought it was pretty funny. It was a series of 6 photographs, different scenes of
Christ in New York.

1. Christ in the streets of New York.
2. Christ next to a dead woman in an abortion clinic.
3. Christ having dinner with a Ukrainian woman.
4. Christ Rescuing a woman being attacked.
5. Christ gets beaten after trying to defend a homosexual.
6. Christ shot by a mugger in the street.

The last one had the words "Second coming had occurred and no one noticed."

It was a strange yet very interesting exhibit.
