(45 images) - Made my yearly visit to the Art Museum, while I really respect the skill that it took to create the works there, and feel its wonderful resource for St. Louis, I have to admit the Art Museum feels somewhat "dead" to me. I can look at every little facet of each sculpture, installation, or painting with amazement, but for some reason, museum always feels "dead". Anyway, if art floats your boat check these and the museum out. Also, a few pics of the monsoon that rolled through the night I was there. Spent about an hour and shot about 600 pics to get 4 of the storm that I actually liked...ridiculous. I think this photography thing is making me a more patient man, well except for the road rage...nothing I can do about STL drivers. Pictures shot with a Pentax *ist DL, Pentax smc P-FA 50mm F1.4 and Quantaray 70-300mm, more info in metadata.
