SAANS & Grant Hamilton

Grant Hamilton @ SAANS
January 12- February 16

Thanks to YHO for bringing this great show to my attention! Don't miss the opportunity to see Grant Hamilton's Polaroid exhibit at SAANS in downtown SLC.

"Grant Hamilton is a photographer based in Iowa City, Iowa. He shoots with a Polaroid SX-70 camera and produces images investigating color field, abstract, geometric and minimal themes. For this show, his colorful, graphic images are enlarged in size up to 20X24 and are produced in a limited edition. Grant Hamilton will be in the SAANS Downtown gallery on the evening of Friday Feb. 16, 2009 for an artist's reception and to answer any questions. "

how are the mighty fallen

OK, what happened to Grey's? I mean really, has the medical field become so boring that we have to endure Izzy's romance with a ghost? And how boring are Meredith and Derek? Seriously, can't you just write about a third arm, conjoined twins, a human race ending plague or how about the old stand by heart attack? Is this a symptom of the writers strike? Whatever it is I can't take it anymore. I am bidding farewell to the once great show.
