Kodachrome
They give us those nice bright colors
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, Oh yeah
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama don't take my Kodachrome away

We went down to Balboa Park to check out the new exhibit at The Museum of Photographic Arts. It was a beautiful afternoon when the sun finally came out. The exhibit was interesting and engaging. The photo of John Lennon & Yoko Ono taken by Annie Leibovitz on the day he was murdered was just one of the photos on display.
Taking Aim

EXPERIENCE THE REVOLUTION THAT CHANGED THE COURSE OF CULTURAL HISTORY
Taking Aim spans more than fifty years of music-making as seen through the eyes of 40 legendary photographers including Lynn Goldsmith, Annie Leibovitz, Henry Diltz, Jim Marshall, Neal Preston, Mick Rock, Francesco Scavullo, Graham Nash himself, and others. The selection of photographs presented in the exhibition expresses Graham’s view on the evolution of rock ‘n’ roll music, and depicts stunning images ranging from live stage performances by Jimi Hendrix, Iggy Pop, Elvis, The Beatles, and Kurt Cobain, to intimate, behind-the-scenes moments of Johnny Cash and June Carter, Yoko Ono and John Lennon, Janis Joplin and others.
