museums and aquariums
29 Nov
I was taking photos at the newly reopened Academy of Sciences, trying to incorporate people into pictures of the stuffed creatures in the African Hall a la… who? There’s a woman who did shots of kids and aquarium creatures, and a man who was approached by a somewhat large company for an ad after they saw his pictures of stuffed museum creatures. Their names escape me… who are they?! (That’s the trouble with a visual memory – you remember the images but have no efficient way of searching for them. If only I could plug my brain into the USB port. Maybe rubbing my forehead on the google homepage will do?)
Anyhow, I didn’t really succeed, but I do have a new appreciation of the surreal combination of the natural and cheesy man-made replicas of the natural that are thrown together in the dioramas and live enclosures (to wit lizard tank).
On that note, Ville Lenkkeri has some great photos of people in museums:
