Capturing Art at LACMA
I was hardly the only one going around photographing art with my camera. I also took photos of paintings, but I prefer to leave them off Flickr, as one can only reproduce what exists in a painting, whereas sculptures can be photographed from numerous angles. Anyway, people used point-and-shoot cameras like mine, or they used their iPhone cameras, or whatever smartphone camera they had. I even saw a few people with DSLRs. LACMA is more open about allowing photography in the galleries, as long as one doesn't use a flash. With the incredible images one can get at high ISOs a flash is totally unnecessary. However, there are still certain works and exhibits where photography is still not allowed. This was not one of them.
