I'm not familiar with Mr.Hicks' work, but the photo you linked to is gorgeous! I'll have to Google him. Unfortunate to hear

of his passing. Thanks, Harry.

<p>About a month ago I visited the High Museum in Atlanta to see their "Warhol to Picasso" exhibit. I visited their website the day before to see what restrictions they might have on photography. As I've found to be the case with most other museums, the temporary exhibit could only be photographed with cell phone cameras...and nothing else. I had a 5D Mk II around my neck and you can bet that gallery employees kept an eye on me (and others carrying similar cameras) the entire time I viewed the exhibit. As for the permanent exhibits, I was free to use the 5D, but flash and tripods are prohibited. At the High you're required to request a "photography permit" before purchasing a ticket. When you receive the permit (in the form of a paper sticker) you're given a review of their photography policy and then required to wear the sticker while in the museum. This assures other staff that you've been made aware of the policies and if caught breaking the rules you can't say..."nobody told me I couldn't..."</p>

<p>At the Hunter Museum here in Chattanooga the rules are the same, but no"permit" required, just a 30 second review of their policies.</p>

In terms of the sheer volume of high quality nude, glamour, & fashion photographs, Photosig has PN beat, hands down.

Not even close.

No problem. Wasn't trying to be a Debbie Downer...but in case you didn't get a strong response, thought you might want

to know. Vacation, huh? Now that's what I need!

<p>Yesterday I viewed the photo I've linked and it was turned to a horizontal (landscape) position, when that was obviously not the intent of the photographer.<br>

<p>As you see, the photographer was not experiencing the same problem when he viewed the same photo. Initially I was viewing the photo on my iPadII...and looking at it today on my desktop, the problem doesn't exist. Going back to the iPad...it remains "sideways".</p>

<p>I've never experienced this problem before (with my own photos or that of others) and wondered if anyone knows what might be causing this? Thanks in advance for your help!</p>

Ditto...what James said. iPad sales surveys (for example) indicate that women prefer the white version for viewing

photographs, men prefer the black.

Any site that I can't view on my iPad/iPhone is all but useless to me. But I'll be glad to take a look as soon as I get back to my

desk.

I'm a former spelling bee winner, Mark...but at 2:40 a.m., how about a break?! I know better, but half asleep and typing a word that I might actually write once every couple of decades (or less often) ....

I'm not trying to get pissy on ya...but

it's a bit rude to correct people's spelling...unless you're...hmm, an English teacher or the parent of a young child;)

p.s - there's no need of a comma being placed before an ellilsis! Come on people! Grammar checks!

Unfortunately, the bridge that was featured in The Bridges of Madison County was destroyed by an arsen fire several

years ago :(

W. Eugene Smith...especially his Pittsburg series. His darkroom skills were phenomenal. Makes me wonder if like

Smith, I were to abandon sleep for days at a time, smoke four packs of cigatettes a day, consume vast amounts of

alcohol mixed with developing chemicals...my work might rival his. Nah. Probably not ;)

I haven't, but I like the idea. Working jigsaw puzzles with my grandfather and mother are some of my fondest

childhood memories. It would be nice to make a puzzle from one of my own pictures and continue the tradition with my

grandchildren!
