I was hired to photograph (the event) at a Rodin exhibit a few years ago. I was yelled at by security for 'apparently' getting the art in the photographs...and I explained to them that it was inevitible that the art would make it in the pictures (his stuff is quite big!), and they insisted I had to take the pictures without getting any of the art in the pictures. I then assured them none of the art would get in the pictures any more (with my tongue in my cheek, mind you ;-), they were happy. > > P.S.

I shoot the artist in many cases next to their art but sometimes I shot yuppies with tatoos and piercings eating brie and drinking champagne! Quite a spread in the paper! I see people with cameras sometimes on First Thursday I don't think people mind. I often have mine. We shoot pictures of each other with our cameras. It's pretty dumb actually! Mark Rabiner
