Inside the Conciergerie The French know how to build a beautiful prison! On the downside, it held up to 1,200 prisoners at a time, which sounds more like a French subway.They don’t like you using tripods in here. I asked if the punishment was to just leave me in the prison while I take the photos. And then, when I stopped using the tripod, they would let me out of prison. This seemed like a pretty good compromise to me, but they did not find it amusing.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Inside the Driskill Well here it is, the awesome hotel where we are having the event. Many people agree it's the most beautiful hotel in Austin and is over 100 years old. They've always been very kind to me -- we had our workshop in there, a book signing, and all other sorts of events. One little thing that most people don't know -- the 4th and 5th floors have beautiful paintings and art hanging on all the walls of the hallway. It's worth a trip up there just to wander around the halls and see the art!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Halls of India I understand that many of these royal halls used to be inlaid with rare stones. I can't even imagine what it was like... since they are already beautiful and detailed with all the stones missing! I don't believe I've ever seen a re-creation of one of these, even where the stones are fake. One place that comes to mind is the Amber Room in St. Petersburg, but I haven't been there yet... although it's on the list. - Trey Ratcliff Read more here at Trey Ratcliff's travel photography blog, Stuck in Customs.
An Amazing Day at the Met On Sunday, I set aside about six hours to spend alone at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Most of you may know by now how I am obsessed with the Impressionists. Don't ever go to a museum with me, because I will bore you for hours on end with strange tidbits. Anyway, the Met has a fantastic collection that kept me busy most of the time... It's rather nice of them to hang on to my paintings for me. One day, when I get some time, I'm going to make a little page here and show some of my favorites.The Man would not let me take a tripod inside, so that was unfortunate. I did manage to do a few hand-held HDRs however... here is one that I have processed thus far.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
