This is a picture
So we got a digital camera for Christmas. It’s my goal to make regular use of it, in hopes of getting back into photography more.
This picture was taken at the Andy Warhol Museum. We went there with some friends who were visiting Pittsburgh.
The exhibit shown here, Silver Clouds, was one of our favorites. While Warhol’s paintings are generally participatory in the fact that their sheer size requires some head movement to take in the whole work, this is viewer participation taken to the next level. By being able to enter the gallery and interact with the work (in this case, silver Mylar balloons), one is put into a surreal, tranquil frame of mind. It was fun to stand and contemplate the movements of the balloons, which were neither predetermined nor totally random.
