Caught My Eye

Never mind that any museum that doesn't allow photography will suffer because it will not be welcoming to most people who may choose to experience things through the lens of their camera and the institutions will not benefit from the inevitable viral conversations that take place on & offline as people share images with friends. Is it possible to go overboard with photography in museums, sure, but prohibition is not a good option.
    I should also mention that as an art critic and art lover I adore taking digital images of art. It does help me experience the work in a different way.
