The Summer Viewing List

As summer kicks into full swing, most of us will be taking some time off at some point for a few moments of rest and relaxation. In the event your travels take you somewhere exciting for your vacation and you're looking for your fix of photography, we proudly offer you our unofficial, incomplete and clearly biased Summer Viewing List, detailing many museum exhibits and gallery shows around the world (in no particular order) that we would make a point to see if we found ourselves in the right place at the right time.

Surely, there are plenty more photography shows on view wherever you might go than we've chosen for this edited list, and I'm certain we will now receive a flood of additional announcements, tips, and flames for those we have missed or omitted. So we'll be happy to update the list if something great comes out of the woodwork, but hopefully this collection should give you somewhere to start.
