Lovers of photography, make for the Henry!
The Seattle Times says that right now is a great time to explore "camera art" at the Henry (which we're pretty sure means, y'know...photography). We saw the show last week and we find them to be entirely correct.

And, of course, the arresting, "irresistible" (says the Stranger's Jen Graves) show of early polaroids by the late, infamous stirrer of controversy Robert Mapplethorpe:
