&#8220;Nah&#8221; or &#8220;No Thanks&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Well, it was my birthday the other day and I used the &#8216;leverage&#8217; of it being my birthday to suggest we make a little visit to that art museum and then go out to dinner at a local restaurant. Even though they were predictably underwhelmed by my proposal, they obediently went along to appease <em>the birthday boy<\/em>&#8216;s request.<\/p>\n<p>Even though I&#8217;m not one of these photographers that always has his camera with him, I almost always have a camera when I visit an art museum. Most art museums allow you to take photos if you don&#8217;t use a flash. (Sometimes, they&#8217;ll have restricted exhibits where they don&#8217;t allow *any* photography; but that seems to be the exception rather than the rule.)<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not taking straight-up photos of each piece of artwork that I enjoy (most of the museum goers I see seem to be doing this), but rather looking for interesting juxtapositions of different artworks with each other, with respect to the museum&#8217;s architecture, in relation to the people visiting or working at the museum, or just a different distorting perspective. In short, I&#8217;m looking for any interesting compositions that catch my eye.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few shots I took during my latest visit for\/during my birthday&#8230;:-).<\/p>\n<p>Click any image to see them large..<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-5143 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-postid=\"fsg_post_5143\" data-imgid=\"5144\" href='https:\/\/www.michaelgracemartin.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/P5200237.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.michaelgracemartin.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/P5200237-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-postid=\"fsg_post_5143\" data-imgid=\"5145\" href='https:\/\/www.michaelgracemartin.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/P5200253.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.michaelgracemartin.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/P5200253-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-postid=\"fsg_post_5143\" data-imgid=\"5146\" href='https:\/\/www.michaelgracemartin.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/P5200255.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.michaelgracemartin.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/P5200255-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-postid=\"fsg_post_5143\" data-imgid=\"5147\" href='https:\/\/www.michaelgracemartin.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/P5200263.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.michaelgracemartin.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/P5200263-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-postid=\"fsg_post_5143\" data-imgid=\"5148\" href='https:\/\/www.michaelgracemartin.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/P5200268.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.michaelgracemartin.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/P5200268-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-postid=\"fsg_post_5143\" data-imgid=\"5149\" href='https:\/\/www.michaelgracemartin.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/P5200272.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.michaelgracemartin.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/P5200272-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<br \/>\n<table class=\"mcnTextContentContainer\"\n style=\"min-width: 540px !
