entry description
This is a series of photographs taken in what I like to think of as one of great petrie dishes of human behavior -- museums. It is an environment where people come to see but are also being seen by the ubiquitous cameras and omnipresent guards. The tension created between observer and observed is exacerbated by the inherent expectations of being in an "important" almost sacred place. A place where people do some of the most unexpected things.about the photographer
