I wish we had had time in London to get more pictures but we only had a day and half.  I’m thankful Mike is willing to stand in when I can’t get shots with the general public in them.  Sometimes the scale of the room is necessary to give a real idea of the space you are about to enter. Nothing shows that better than a person.  Without a model you have to wait ages to get a picture with just the right person to wander into the shot, at just the right angle and at just the right moment.

As a rule I try to get pictures with no faces in them but it is not always possible.  Often I will blur people out but that in itself is usually a bad choice.  Modern computer screens can be huge and a blurred-out face can be kind of scary on a big screen.  Since my goal is to familiarize people with a destination, the last thing I want to do is scare them with a blurry ghost face!

St. Paul’s does not currently allow photography inside so I am very thankful to the photographers who share their photos on  Wikimedia Commons.

 

I Am Going to the New Tate Modern and the Viewing Platform! A New Ability Guidebook for London!

This Ability Guidebook for the Tate includes visiting both the art collection and the Tate Viewing Platform.  I created three books for the Tate.  One for the art collection, one for the Tate Viewing Platform and this one that includes both.

I Am Going To New Tate Modern! A New Ability Guidebook by Brett Bigham

The New Tate Modern has an amazing collection of Modern Art.  If you could pick only one museum in the world to visit the Tate should be at the top of your list!

Aside from the art collection, the building itself has a 365 degree viewing platform on the 10th floor.  Because visiting both the museum and the viewing platform on the same day might be too difficult a trip, I’ve created three books: one for the art museum alone, one for the viewing platform alone and one with both.  This will give you some options if you need to segment your trip.
