Working at the CMC

View fullsize

It’s been three years since I last worked for the Cincinnati Museum Center. Today, however, I got to do so again. My task was to photograph people enjoying the museum throughout the building, capturing happy faces, and experiencing a sense of wonder.

I felt a little uneasy at first photographing people. I wasn’t hiding the fact that I was doing it, but I also wasn’t aiming to grab their attention, either. On the back of everyone’s ticket, there’s language that says the CMC is allowed to photograph people without needing a release.

For the first half hour, I struggled to get anything good with any confidence. Eventually, I found my stride, got about 40 workable shots, and called it a day.
