After the morning with the cats, we spent an afternoon on an excursion throughout downtown Chicago, which included the art museum. Here are a few interesting snapshots of the museum's pieces of work and architecture. Photos by Sarah Bush.
(Above) Staircase in one of the lobbies. I like the contrast emphasized by the black and white color filter I used, as well as the aesthetic lines that curve at pleasant ratios throughout the photograph.
(Above) I love the way the lines of the hallway converge at a place just beyond the vase, as well as the character enhanced by the lighting.
(Above) A very Lladro-esque miniature statue. I like the sculpted movement of the cloth garment, as well as the expression of the face, blurred, just beyond that. The lighting also enhances the grooves carved into the piece.
(Above) This is actually a roughly 3' by 3' box/ diorama display of a room. This particular gallery was filled with miniature scenes and rooms from houses with decor ranging from the 17th to the 20th century. Photographs snapped up close appear as if they are of an actual, life-size room. It was amazing. The way the artists re-created natural lighting was incredible.
