Sort photos into the albums for Monuments/Memorials, Museums, People, and Other. Email Grace if you need the login information or if you have trouble logging in.

Moment of Zen:
Daniel Chester French, sculptor of the figure of Lincoln inside the Lincoln Memorial, made the specific request that the sculpture never be lit from below. However, at George H.W. Bush's inauguration in 1988, held at the Memorial, just this happened, highlighting just how much lighting can affect the way something looks.
Thanks to Gabe and Ben for digging up this picture and to Ruben and Sophie for reminding us.

Wait...when did I remind you?
ReplyDeleteBefore anyone asks, I couldn't sleep and wanted to see if there was a reason. Homework=finished, weekend insomnia=?
ReplyDeleteSophie- I can't prove anything, but a slightly different picture of this event was left up on the computer where you and Ruben were working, so I figured it was better to give credit beyond where it was due than to neglect someone's input.
ReplyDeleteOH! A bunch of people went in there immediately after school, I heard them talking about this. Probably them...hope I'm not bursting anyone's bubble, but I can't remember who they were. There were, I don't know, maybe five of them?
