These things are fleeting moments in time. Only up for a few months at best, then it goes poof! You are already there, so why not preserve something of it and donate to the historical record? In 2018 I went to the Araki show in NYC. I spent 1.5 hours there looking and shooting. I can't post most if it due to content. If you want to check it out, go to the Internet Archive and look it up. Photo: D.D.Teoli Jr. I had a hard time shooing at the museum as you could not bring in a backpack. I was shooting regular photography, circular fisheye photography and infrared flash photography. I used a fishing vest to carry all that crap and the vest was bursting at the seams! So, find a way to get the job done. Almost all galleries & museums allow photography. This museum didn't allow flash photography, so I used invisible infrared flash. This was the entrance of the show...in infrared flash. (Censored) Infrared flash photo: D.D.Teoli Jr. Like I said, can't show much here and not going to fool around censoring things. So, you check it out. But the point of this post is not Araki. The point of it is to inspire you to document your world. You go to a lecture, record audio at least. You don't have to shoot a video of the whole thing. Then put it online. <><><><> Daniel D.
