Thomas Hawk complains (rightfully so) that museums in San Francisco have issues with photographers.
Here in the North East I’ve never had such a problem in any museum I’ve visited. And in some of the smaller museums, like the Aldrich in Ridgefield, CT, they’ll even go out of their way to point out what’s interesting, new and exciting. And they are kid-friendly, to a fault.
Must be a cultural thing.
Update: 10 Zen Monkeys has a decent rundown of the Thomas Hawk / SF MOMA incident and aftermath. It’s amazing to me (well, maybe not) how quickly they throw in the ‘pervert’ accusation. That’s the last bastion of someone who has nothing else to accuse someone with.
And the rest of the sheeple just go blindly on ….
