[Leica] IMGs: Beauty and its beholders

[mark at rabinergroup.com (Mark Rabiner)]

I do enjoy going to the MET the Metropolitan Museum of Art and photographing
other people photographing the art and their friends standing in front of
it.
Which to me is us like going on a bus trip with a bunch of photo enthusiasts
and photographing the Golden gate Bridge being photographed by others.
You're making photographs about photographs. The art in the art.
