Shhhh!

There is a museum in Hartford currently holding a very special exhibition by a well known painter who, over 25 years,  painted about 250 large canvases featuring water plants at his garden in France. 

Unfortunately, photography is not permitted at that exhibition.

    It's never stopped me either. I figure I'm only taking pictures of the people at the exhibition, not the art itself.

    Your description is so vivid, I feel as though I can see it. (For situations like this, I hope the HDP mgt. offers bail money.)

    If I think a moment I might make out the name of this painter.

    You can expect a knock at your door in the middle of the night. Someone squealed. This post is now on the wall at the Hartford offices of the PFI (Photographic Felon Inquisition).

    I wouldn't worry except your lawyer is sporting a brand-new Nikon camera in a PFI bag.
