Back to The Met

Back in August, I posted about my visit to The Met, and was dismayed over the fact that I brought my camera, but neglected to bring a change of batteries, and so ran out of power after just a few photos. Well, I made another trip this weekend, this time armed with fresh batteries in the camera, and an extra pair in my pocket. As a result, I took lots and lots of photos this time. I didn’t get to everything in the museum I wanted to see, but that just gives me an excuse to go back. This time around, I documented the armor section pretty well, and I viewed a temporary exhibit on faces in medieval sculpture, though this exhibit forbade photography (even flashless, apparently).
