Matthew Currie Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 <p>There's a bronze of this at the Clark Institute in Williamstown, Mass., which used to be free (but now requires admission fee), and at least used to be photographable. The interaction of people with the sculpture is very interesting to watch.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Currie Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 <p>One must be a bit discreet, and no flash allowed. Way long ago I got a few hip shots with a Rollei 35 and probably tri x.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyanatic Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 <p>Louis, thanks! Very interesting. I love this sculpture. I'm a CAI member and caught a photo of it a few months back.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou_Meluso Posted June 9, 2016 Author Share Posted June 9, 2016 <p>Thanks for the responses, guys. Some folks don't realize the thoughtful and sensitive approach used to photograph sculpture well. It's a unique, and often wonderful, aspect of museum studio photography.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
