First Pics of Udvar-Hazy Visit

Well done Jay. The U-H annex is next on my list of aviation museums I
want to see. After that there's CAF in TX and Chino in CA.

I didn't write any of the text found in your post. Why did you include an
attribution?

Tripods and exposure times are only half the issue.

No doubt. That's why I wrote in a previous post: "there's more to getting a
great photograph than simply getting a sufficient exposure".

In most indoor aviation exhibits distances are too short for much
photography,
and there are often other planes in the way. I did some work at the
Duxford
museum in England - often working alone at night, just to go to the toilet
I
literally had to walk around a B17 and under a Vulcan bomber! No way to
get any pictures there though, because of the way the planes are crammed
into the
hangar.

"In most"? How did you arrive at that conclusion? Most of the aviation
exhibits I've been do don't involve cramming as many airplanes as possible
into a space. Sure, it's often not possible to take a picture of just one
airplane at a time, but to say you can't photograph most indoor aviation
exhibits is just plain wrong. It just takes some creativity and a good eye
for the composition.

Sounds to me like we probably have different ideas of what constitutes a good
photograph.

My working definition of art: If I can do that - it aint art.

You need a broader concept of "art". I've seen plenty of "art" in your
posts, and I mean that in a good way. You obviously have artistic ability.

Heck, the post in which you claim not to be able to do art, you've done art.

So...the PMC isn't art, eh? :-)

Functional, yes, art, no...or so says Montblack

Durable, too! We got to use the PMC ("Pimp My Cooler") again this past
weekend, when Montblack hosted us at the Golden Wings Museum (watch for
pix) in Anoka. It still looks -- and works -- as good as new.

Of course, we had to warn airport personnel that it wasn't some sort of
an IED, but hey...

Art? Sure, ok, why not?

PMC does fall under the Early Shaker style....

"Cocktail Shaker: This is a device which allows you to shake the hell out of
drink ingredients without them getting all over the place. It is composed of
a [plywood and 2" rigid pink] vessel with either a glass, which fits into
it, or a lid. You simply place the ingredients and ice (usually) into the
shaker, connect the glass or lid to the shaker, and shake."

....that's why there are handles on the side of "The (PMC) Casket"

And that lovely patina...
Um, that's green treated plywood, ma'am.
