No Picture Taking. Phooy! Click, Click.

Can't take photos in the Broad Building. What nonsense. What's Mr. Broad's motive?

This no picture taking has gotten out of hand. Every show that comes to the LACMA is off limits to photography. How are they going to stop it? You have a cellphone with a built-in camera? Click, click. A small digital point-and-shot? Click, click. Even with a digital SLR it's just point and shot. Camera does the rest. Click, click. I can have the camera hanging from my shoulder. Click, click.

Instead of banning photography embrace it. Have a contest for the best photo of an art showing. See what kind of photos you get of people interacting with the art. You just may learn something. Click, click.
