Windy city (Day 3), or more Art Appreciation at Chutes and Ladders

I went to the museum at the Chicago Art Institute today with two of my colleagues. It is funny how people have completely different art preferences. I just can't get enough of the late European artists, particularly the impressionists. I could stare at those paintings forever, but one of my colleagues indicated how he felt a little impressionism goes along way. So while we all entered the museum together planning to walk through it together, we lost each by the second or third room. I was reminded while walking through the museum how insignificant my work really is. These guys (and girls) were doing something that really moves people... that effects them psychological... that moves them. I can't really think of a time that I was ever "moved" by a piece of political science (although I Schattschneder and Olson did resonate quite loudly within me).

Thought I would post a few pictures for people to see. It is hard to take good pictures in a museum because they don't allow flash photography. But over the weekend I learned some photo editing techiniques in iPhoto and Photoshop that really helped clean up these images.
