Lucky Ju Ju's Awesome Pinball Collection

You might think: "Why is an art gallery that's really a pinball parlor showing photographs of pinball parlors?" Good question, but it probably comes under the heading of "So Obvious It Makes Perfect Sense." Michael Schiess and his Lucky Ju Ju Pinball/Gallery have been well noted in the visual arts and communications sphere of the Bay Area recently -- Schiess shows what he likes, and he obviously likes pinball. So does photographer Linda Hanson, who habitually frequented pinball halls on a mission to capture the colorful glories of flippers and bumpers. Her photo exhibition, forthrightly titled Pinball, opens this evening with a reception at Lucky Ju Ju from 6 p.m. to midnight -- which happens to be the gallery's hours of operation, Fridays and Saturdays only. 713 E. Santa Clara Ave., Alameda. Visit Homepage.mac.com/andcolor to see Hanson's work. -- Kelly Vance
