Tulsa’s Philbrook Museum of Art<\/a> is putting on an exhibition of over 150 photographs by Jason Lee<\/a>. I’d never heard of him before and he got famous as a skateboarder way back when, and then got into movies, and for the last decade and a half has developed quite a reputation as photographer using various film formats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Philbrook commissioned him to do a series of photographs on Tulsa and Oklahoma. They are his vision of Tulsa and Oklahoma. So when I went to check them out recently I was like, well, okay. His vision is kind of bleak and a lot of shows the disparity between the haves and the havenots here. There a shots of dilapidated buildings with the high rises of corporate Tulsa in the background for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There isn’t like one single work that is a showstopper. Its not that kind of exhibition. I think you have to look at the whole work in its entirety. From that vantage the show is outstanding. The thing that really inspired me is that I sensed a confident photographer going about his business shooting photographs of various scenes based on his instincts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, inspired by him, I am trying to figure out what my vision of Oklahoma is and make it more right brained than my analytical side. I found these images of various bison in a rural area of Tulsa. I kind of like them even though I had to park in the driveway of the property and just as I finished up since big loud dog showed up acting like he wanted to bite a piece of my leg off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"Buffalo<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They are colorful, what they mean about Oklahoma, I haven’t figured that out yet. I am just going with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you think?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"Turkey<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I drove on out of Tulsa into the countryside and came across this Turkey Vulture. I didn’t bother him one bit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Across the road was a mainline block valve for some sort of liquids pipeline. It needs a little work I think. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So anyway, if you are in the Tulsa area go check out the Jason Lee exhibit at the downtown branch of Philbrook. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
