Things Photographed

A set of pictures of people looking at pictures (with apologies to Elliott Erwitt, who did the same thing, only much better)

    Almost a sacral feeling in this series! I like it a lot! I have never been to Tate, but I sure (now more than ever ๐Ÿ™‚ ) would love to go there some day!

      Yes, I think you’re right. There is something a bit like religious devotion going here.

      Galleries are great places to make photos. The interaction of people and the exhibits adds a whole new dimension to the relationship between subject and observer.

      Tate Britain is a fine gallery – and only five minutes from my office, so I get there quite a lot. To be honest I prefer the sister gallery, Tate Modern, but that’s a bit further away.
