Further to my recent post about a trip to the Blanton Museum in Austin, I have another small set of photographs to share! You can check out other photographs from the same outing here.

Last time, I shared photographs made with the Widelux mostly inside the Ellsworth Kelly. Today what I have to show you are photographs made in a couple of rooms of the museum itself. Again, I am pleased with how they came out, given I was mostly holding the camera or propping it on an obliging bench.

Something about silhouettes in a museum environment has always captivated me. Also, I’ve noticed that museums tend to be interesting spaces in and of themselves, with a lot of time and care being given to the artfulness of the architecture, the placement of walls and windows, the quality of the lighting. All of these touches add to the experience of viewing the artwork, whether we realize it or not. . . . . I have to admit I am usually too distracted by the building and the people to spend as much time on the artwork. That’s what exhibition catalogs are for!

Thank you for looking!
