Photographing the Light

Last weekend, Sally took me, Annie, and one of Annie's friends to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. She wanted us to see the new exhibit in the Greek and Roman area. In the midst of all these ancient riches, what I especially loved is how both natural and artificial light falls on the pottery and sculpture and on the gallery visitors.

    it's a magnificent place. the greek and roman things, and the exhibit, blow me away. the museum uses a photo just like my last one in one of their brochures. so wonderful.

    I like how you show up in lots of them, kind of like Waldo in "Where's Waldo?"

  5. I love that, too, for the juxtaposition of with the two perfect male torsos just beyond. his torso may have looked like that once.
