Pulse was small and bite sized compared with the Armory. Much easier to take in but the overall complexity of the work wasn't up to the same level. Still an enjoyable experience.

This sculptural layout of well shot photography would have had a better impact if the wall wasn't made so poorly with no attention to details.

These "real estate" images are a nice echo on the current state of the economy.

I am quite curious how a show of Jason and Carlos Sanchez would look since many of their images are strong and don't fit together in a traditional way.
