KJ - thanks for the intro to the Wadsworth Athenaeum. I was planning on going there Thursday evening after work. On the first Thursday of the month the museum stays open until 8:00 pm and the cost drops to $5 per adult. But just looking at your beautiful picture of the outside of the museum makes me realize I won't be able to see it's beauty if I go in the evening. I also liked the Monet picture you posted - the colors seemed so serene and calming.
Hi Karen...looks like you have a good start....
Remember there are two types of projects due... four papers that are illustrated with your own photographs...and two photographic journals. I get a sense from your Wadsworth trip that this is your photo journal... it doesn't really qualify as a paper... also try to put each visit as one longer blog posting rather than breaking them up into separate posts.
Have you taken a look at Ron's blog yet? He did a nice job on setting the stage by discussing the architecture and then digging into more detail about the work he was viewing.
KJ, what a castle! Your feedback of Wadsworth was helpful. The pictures are great too.
