The Cloisters Museum

[wlotus]

ladyofthelog has the distinction of knowing me since my earliest LJ-blogging days. (Ye gods: that has been over seven years on LJ for me!) We had never met in person, so you can imagine I was quite excited to find out she would be in NYC and wanted to meet me! We took advantage of the gorgeous weather to meet at The Cloisters Museum far uptown.


The Amazing ladyofthelog!
I genuinely enjoyed her company. We talked about our interests--she knows a lot about medieval art--and filled in some of the gaps between what we blog about and what we experience. During our conversation, I made photos of the museum. I'm very happy with how these came out; they are a far cry from the ones I did a couple of years ago with Rebbie (my 300D).

The next time ladyofthelog comes to NYC, there shall be more photos of her! I didn't want to scare her by stalking her with my lens on our first meeting. :-)

I have always wanted to visit the Cloisters- and your pictures have really inspired me! If I ever make it to NY I'm going!

Ans that's a great pic of E. :) You're really getting a knack for drilling down to what your subject is all about, IMO. So amazing to see!

I'd like to go with you! As ladyofthelog discovered, I don't know much of anything about the artifacts, but I am happy to view them while someone more knowledgeable talks about what makes them special.

I like that picture of her a lot. I didn't even have to crop it or take additional shots; I knew I had her as soon as I pressed the shutter. That's happening a lot more, these days, and I like that.
