Out Here: Excellent Adventure

September 25, 2009 By: Victoria Clayton Category: Out Here

IMG_0552IMG_0590Ever wonder what a camera-happy six-year-old who has commandeered his mom’s iPhone might do on a adventure to the Hammer? No? Too bad. That’s what you’re going to see today. I won’t lament how we don’t have much in the way of museums out here in Ventura County or how we don’t have decent public transit to take us in to L.A. (hence, there were a lot of photos of the back of my head)…nope, not today. Because it’s Friday and this is just meant to inspire you or maybe it’s meant to show you what your kid sees. I dunno. I was frankly going to erase all these photos once I wrestled my  phone back but I got to looking at them and I thought, you know, this is kind of interesting. The exhibit we saw was apropos because the artists used LOTS of TAPE! My son’s favorite. They also used deflated soccer balls and bottle caps and stuff like that. It was fun. Really. If you want to check out the Hammer, it’s right on Wilshire near UCLA and you can even go on a Thursday when it’s free. Bonus: The security people are very nice and don’t  seem to mind fun-loving children one bit. So, here it goes, a kid’s photo documentation from start to finish of our excellent adventure (minus about 200 shots of the back of my head, the parking garage, the drive home, etc.)…
