DescriptionSolomon R. Guggenheim Art Museum Lobby March 26, 2006.jpg	English: To me, the Guggenheim in New York City is one of the most eccentric, but still old school architectural delights -- on the inside, sexy, curvaceous, seductive, but still highly intellectual; on the outside almost as dorky as a Devo Energy Dome. To really bring it into the 21st century, they need to hold some downhill skateboard races and leave the marks up as art, especially any blood spilled, spattered or scraped onto surfaces during the races. Isn't art just leaving your mark, anyway? Okay, I jest. The morning of this photograph was absolutely breathtaking with just the right amount of slightly diffused, soft light and no crowds. The museum was hosting the centennial for sculptor David Smith. In the foreground is his Cubi I, finished in 1963, two years before his death. Stainless steel reaching heavenward. Although, the Guggenheim allows photography in the lobby, they do not want you to use a tripod. I found out that even a chest pod could attract a reprimand. My excuse "hey, it is my 60th birthday, guys!" This is an image of a place or building that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places in the United States of America. Its reference number is 05000443.

Photographed using one of the earliest twist-out, live-action, LED viewfinder screens in a digital camera, the Konica-Minolta Dimage A200.

It also had autofocus and a 2 second delay setting so you could actually set the camera on a bench or floor, see the LCD screen clearly without having to lay on the floor with the camera, frame the picture using a manual zoom lens (precise), and dial in the exposure by how the image looks in the LCD screen, hit the exposure button, let it alone, and in 2 seconds, without any camera vibration, it autofocuses flawlessly and it can do 4 second exposures with no blur.

Invaluable in dark but wonderful cathedrals all across Europe. In this case, perfect for a quick, but perfectly framed shot, before my time was up in the lobby.
