As I'm labeling my way through the pictures I've taken the last few years that I'm behind on - primarily pictures from trips, I've mostly kept on top of the shots I've taken in NYC - I've got a developing issue. The sets that just random pictures of places are the easiest to label (I can label them all things like "Typical Istanbul Street Scene" or "Graffiti in Prague" and leave it at that) whereas the pictures I've taken at museums take a lot longer to label and tag as I transfer the information from the original museum label. Still, I'm trying to start tackling those sets. One of the first that I've finished is a set I took at the Musee d'Orsay in 2010. There are some really lovely things in their collection, though at times it's not an easy environment for photography - some of the corridors are narrow, and the lighting isn't always so great. Still, in two visit there (one in Februrary, 2010, the other in September, 2009) I did get some shots I think are pretty lovely, of amazing items.
The Adoration of the Magi, a tapestry by Sir Edward Burne-Jones
The Church of Auvers, by Vincent van Gogh
I'll admit, this is as much one of my "best" because of the episode of Dr. Who as for any other reason...
The Adulteress, by Jules Cambos
Art Nouveau Bowl
Detail from The Family, by Luc Olivier Merson
The Campaign of France, by Ernest Meissonier

Well, that's all for now! :)
