That's downright PATHETIC. I'm not saying you are claiming it as your own, but if you can't spare two damn seconds to look at the name of the artist who spent all that time collecting those garments and making that statue...then maybe you should pass up taking the photograph, or at least NOT POST IT HERE. This is NOT an "interpretation" as you see it, it's just a mere photograph of a completed artwork by someone else. There was actually someone else on these forums a while ago who posted a photo of paintings by Marlene Dumas hanging at the Museum of Modern Art. This person also failed to mentioned the artist's name.JonMikal said:why's that? i'm certainly not intending to claim this setup as my own as i think it's pretty obvious it's a museum piece. based on your suggestion, i'd be posting the names of every architect that had something to do with DC! those structures are certainly magnificent pieces of art! sorry, i don't have the time to research or care to jot down the names or every artists piece i run across. i appreciate the art...capture it and interpret it the way i see fit and move on. besides, my interpretation is not what the creator, and others that were with me, had in mind.
thanks everyone for you comments

And don't give me that public architecture analogy. We all know "A rose by any other name, would smell as sweet"...but I can't plagarize excerpts from history books without citing the source in my Western Civ. term paper.
MumFandC said:I hope you have some of your own personal photographs hanging in some galleries. I'd love to take photographs of them and publish them on the internet without acknowledging you as the photographer. Ever hear of Sherrie Levine? That's EXACTLY what she does to famous photographs of Walker Evans. She makes EXACT replicas by photographing the original photographs themselves. And even she has the TIME to jot down the name of the original photographer.
I appreciate all the feedback you gave me JonMikal in the past, but this really got to me. I guess it's because I'm a Fine Arts major...I don't empty my wallet, and drag bags of Hydrostone five city blocks...just to work over a sculpture to have pictures of it surface on the internet without my name anywhere near it.

AIRIC said:Great shot JM. I'm actually surprised they let you shoot in an art gallery. Anytime I walk in with a camera they make it very clear not to take any images. The last place I went to was the Norman Rockwell museum and they were pretty strict.
