(Day 7) - Museum Day

Today CJ and the rest of my family visited the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. It's filled with modern art paintings and sculptures. Some we weren't allowed to take photos of but this one was okay. We loved the colors! It's called La Gerbe by Henri Matisse.

We have't taken a whole lot of photos around a bunch of people before. One family was quite intrigued in CJ's skills and they watched as he setup for this photo. CJ was nervous with the little kids staring at him, but he kept a cool head and didn't get too much camera shake. The mom thought CJ was the cutest thing. Too bad CJ didn't allow me to take an embarrassing photo of him blushing. :P
Mattise!!

He got an incredibly clear shot of this painting. I like that you got such a good picture of CJ at work and there are other people in it too

Great shot. Great colours. My wife and I have seen this piece by Mattise when his exhibition was at the Tate Modern in London, we really enjoyed it. I don't think we could take photos. I just have a post card. I was inspired by some of his works. Nice reminder : )

@alophoto @trevjk3 - You two are my heroes! I've been trying all day to find out the artist and this work's name (La Gerbe) because I forgot to check when I was at the museum. Thank you!

@granagringa - You're right! I actually didn't realize she looks about his size! Haha. Yeah we don't think the family wanted to be in the shot, but their intense stares were kind of intimidating. :)

You and CJ make a great pair. I love the colors in the work that you chose to photograph. CJ looks like a real professional.

This project of yours is a very clever development of your skills and creative vein, Chris! Really well done, technique- and aesthetic-wise!

Another great shot, out of focus and in focus... I do love the colours in the picture, so bright and cheerful.

Great series with CJ, and it looks like CJ finally let you add one of his photos to your project.

I always like Mattise's treatment of color. And I love this shot! Or I should say, these shots!
