"this is it? why is this here?") or "educated". it seems that the flippant people might have been getting more from the art than the educated but didn't know it. oh, and your site looks great. you pull off the huge header very well. smootches. the last time i was in fort worth, i happened to be there on a wednesday with nothing better to do but wo(a)nder about the halls of the modern, listen to the people around me, and write down the names of my favorite pieces. it was the day before thanksgiving, so the kinds of people in attendance were mostly distant relatives from out of town. the comments i overheard either mocking (”i think the cat would like to play on that.” “this is it? why is this here?”) or “educated”. it seems that the flippant people might have been getting more from the art than the educated but didn’t know it.

Excellent use of photos, nicely spaced, nicely sized, a perfect graphic accent to the text. It's like having a perfectly prepared meal, with just the right amount of spices. The text is easy to read, easy on the eyes, the leading is perfect, the column width, everything. And I've already told you how much I like the color scheme. Well done, my friend!
