rhythmaningI don't often take photographs of art-works, because there is little that a photographer can add.
The exception is sculpture, where the subtleties of shade and texture can be reflected in a photograph: the way one see a piece is open to interpretation, and that can be captured in a photograph.
I was going past the National Gallery of Scotland today and I thought I would pop in to see Rodin's "The Kiss", which they have on load (until next March, I think).
It is a truly stunning, evocative piece. It is strange how cold stone can contain so much life.
