Photos from the Joslyn, etc.

While visiting over the weekend, I decided to take some photos while at Joslyn, having never done that before. I only got scolded by security twice, but still got all my photos! And there are a couple bonus from the Bemis and from my flight back to Denver. Enjoy!

Chihuly glass rocks!

How come security got onto you for taking photos at the art museum? I thought this was allowed?

Yeah, I thought it was allowed, too (hence why I brought my camera in the first place). Apparently, I can only take photos in the atrium and the fountain court. Oh well...

Well, I'm sure they just want to make sure you're not photographing any priceless art.

Hey, Eric. I'm sorry I missed you while you were in Omaha. I was actually down in New Mexico over the weekend.

Some art works are sensitive to light so if you were taking pics with the flash on they can tell you to stop. This happened all the time when I was at the Smithsonian.

I suppose its also in an effort to make you buy the stuff in the gift shop.

Thanks, guys, glad you enjoyed the photos.

almighty_tuna, I also enjoy photos from the plane, I just wished they didn't turn out so blurry. I'll try to get some day shots on my next flight - those shouldn't be as bad.

Aaron, I wish you would've told me you were going to be out of town before I called you a hundred times on your phone that weekend!
