At the museum

[shadowfox]

I just went back from a 5-day trip to New England. Now, for a Texan who rarely set a foot that far east, this is quite a trip 🙂

Went to Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFAB) and thanks to the influences of the pictures I see here on RFF, I got the following:

Unlike what the photos seem to indicate, the museum was pretty packed, as you would expect on a Saturday. I got to see Platinum/Palladium prints by Edward Weston, which I think it's pretty cool.

What do y'all think?

Next time really go east and visit the Louvre, and d Orsay in Paris (France , not Texas)

I liked those shots. BTW what focal length did you use?

Welcome back, Wll, nice shots.

Thanks, it's mainly 28mm.

Welcome back, Wll, nice shots.

Glad to be back, George. Hey, I spotted some thick Brooklyn accent in Boston 🙂

Btw, Bostonians I met on the subway are all very friendly, maybe my country-bumpkin look let them off their guard 😀, a lady even commented on my OM-3, saying that she used an OM-1 back in the days.

Thank you Robert. You're welcome in Texas too.

Will, I like your photos. Especially this one. The texture of the stone walls with paintings is wonderful.

Thank you, Dan!
That room is quite something.

Great set Will! I love to shoot in museums, and it looks like you do too. I enjoyed 'em all!

totifoto - Thanks!

Chris - I love the interactions between the visitors and the art pieces. I actually attended the big exhibition that day, a three-way painting "match" between Titian and two other Renaissance painters whom I've never heard of beforehand.

Tons of photo ops ranging from people trying to look smart describing the paintings, to those with glazed eyes, looking bored to tears... not to mention authentic gigantic oil paintings side-by-side, but they don't allow photos in there 🙁
