[Leica] Dali

Good timing on your post.
We have a showing in Philadelphia as well and there is a show on TV about
the showing right now.
We have not been yet but plan to go.  There is also a classic car show in
conjunction with the showing for charity. Since it's at night might be a
good time to break out my Noctulux :->

Although I already had been 2 times to the Dali Museum in Figueras, Spain,
today I went to Rotterdam, the Netherlands, to the Boijmans Van Beuninghen
Museum, where an interesting exposition of Dali's work is taking place till
june '05.

I'm not a real afficionado of his work -inventive but too too much
manierism- but I'm mentioning it because there are a lot of fantastic photos
he "directed" (made by Philippe Halsman): almost all one shots, no montage
involved, just endlessly shooting untill the right picture emerged:

These days this kind of shots would be done differently ;-)

I'd really recommend this exposition for those passing through Rotterdam.
I'm sure a few Luggers are living in the surroundings.

(and if you plan to make a weekend of it, I'd recommend Hotel New York, too)

Two shots I made while there:

One is of the entrance of the Museum. Really impressive and very Dali.
The other is from a building right across the street, the NIA (Nederlands
Instituut voor Architectuur), a school where the future of Dutch
Architecture is invented.

As you will see, the photos are just to document and nothing fancy: it was a
dull day and I was not in a good photo mood.

Cheers and happy snappin'
Philippe
