Another Photography Thread

that's one of the reasons for our having made that trip, to see the Rivera/Kahlo exhibit

 

for my part, I also spent some 90 minutes in the African-American History Museum

 

wished I had had more time to spend in that museum, really enlightening in view of what has happened these last few months

 

it added a lot to what I experienced and learned on this topic when travelling very slowly (seven weeks) along the Eastern Atlantic shore from St. Augustine FL to Long Beach NJ a year ago

 

a wonderful exhibit, really worth travelling more than 2000 km just to get there

So glad you had this opportunity. It's been many years since I've visited the Wright museum. A friend had an exhibit there.. now at least some of her textiles are held in University study collections.

BTW, in her "My Day" reports Eleanor Roosevelt reported on her visits by train to check on WPA projects in the Detroit area.

Almost crashed and nearly got bit by a rattle snake trying to see the damn bloody moon tonight. It was overcast.

 

All that trouble and I could have just seen it here on FPN.

Wow! Some amazing photographs on this thread.

 

I don't really have a specific specialty, but I tend to take a lot of nature, travel and abstract/still-life shots. I also have fun in museums trying to take photographs of a work of art such that I extract something different from it, or help me see some detail in a new way.

 

I have a Flickt account, but the picture of mine that has the most views by a long way is a photo of a horse that's somehow become a Pinterest favorite and gets shared around horse boards (? Not sure of my Pinterest terminology)

 

A few fun ones I've put up on Flickr

I know what you mean. I have a picture of a cemetery that got shared several thousand times on tumblr and pinterest (some of the blogs were a little strange, as you might imagine...).

 

Made a trip recently to a lake that hosts trumpeter swans from Canada every winter, and these are a few shots.

Beautyful, I love dystopias, don't know if they are in the past, the present, or the future.

We don't get a lot of snow in my corner of the planet, but we did the night before last. There is usually a good collection of birds in my yard after this happens. These are a couple of pictures from yesterday.
