Another successful project at Boston Public Library completed. My job was to go in and shoot top and front views of 21 cases of the John Adams Exhibition.
There were 7 different categories; clients, country, fame, fellowmen, fortune, god, and power. Each category has 3 different topics. The exhibition was pretty impressive, Beth did an outstanding job putting the exhibition together. Even though the 29th was the last day of the exhibition, people were still coming to see it. Before they took down the exhibit Beth wanted reference photos of these important cases.
When I went in the exhibit room people were still looking at this amazing part of history. So I had to work around the people. Beth was giving a private tour so I started to work on my first case. Then she came by and looked at my photos and decided to open each case covers to eliminate glare. It made a huge difference. She kicked out everybody in the room and helped me photograph the top view of each case. She opens the case and I shoot. It went pretty smoothly but I was blown away with the history behind each piece.
These types of jobs gives me great pleasure because I feel like I become part of the history. After the shoot I had to organize, rename each file, run some actions, and burn both CDs and DVDs. It took me awhile to do the post process by the time I left BPL it was 7:00 pm, Beth had already left and the offices were closed so I could not deliver the product. Today is my b-day so I am kinda taking it easy but I will deliver them by noon time. ;)
