+ "Face to Face: Works from the Bank of America Collection" @ Museum of Photographic Arts 1649 El Prado San Diego, CA 92101. Hours : Tuesday - Sunday: 10:00 am - 5:00 pm

The exhibition includes some of the earliest techniques, including a salt paper print from the 1840s by David Octavius Hill and Robert Adamson, and a half-plate daguerreotype by Albert Southworth and Josiah Johnson Hawes. Other works include portraits by masters of the medium such as Yousuf Karsh, Lisette Model, Tina Barney, Rineke Dijkstra, Walker Evans and Richard Avedon.



+ "Inside Out: Portraits from the Permanent Collection" @ Museum of Photographic Arts 1649 El Prado San Diego, CA 92101. Hours : Tuesday - Sunday: 10:00 am - 5:00 pm

As the author Richard Brilliant writes, "Making portraits is a response to the natural human tendency to think about oneself, of oneself in relationship to others, and of others in apparent relation to themselves..." Inside Out explores this question by looking at the many varieties of photographic portraiture, ranging from daguerreotypes to the interpretive portraiture of Arnold Newman, including the experimental approach of Man Ray and a view of Marilyn Monroe through time.
