Defining Moments in Photography is really great...they have one piece by Jeff Wall that has me pretty excited to go down to the Art Institute next week and check out their exhibit of his work.

Oh Cindy Sherman....brings back memories of hiding in the stacks in college, spending Friday nights going through her photographs.
