Decided to take the day off and museum hop. Took the Metro in to DC to the National Gallery to see the Alfred Stieglitz and His New York Galleries show that I liked very much. I loved the painting My Egypt by Charles Demuth. I'd never seen it before and thought his abstract treatment of a very realistic subject was excellent. I had read about Stieglitz, O'Keefe, Ansel Adams, and others when I read Edward Weston's diaries just after graduating from college. He had a big influence on me at that time, along with Gary Snyder and the Beats.
