Remember this fantastic place? I went with Micha as a little Philly pit stop on the well worn path between Annapolis and Brooklyn. This time, armed with my camera and a stealthy sense of subterfuge.
(I practiced the famous sneeze and camera click move few times outside.)

If the natural history police do end up tracing these illegal photos back to me, you will be my one phone call. Plead my case and if all else fails, continue the legacy in my name.
...Don't worry, we got your back... :o)
ReplyDelete...Great photos! Love the sneeze and camera click idea - thanks.
...Also, "subterfuge". My word for the day.
...Blessings... :o)
these are awesome!!!!!!!!! sweet sneaky move, why hadn't i thought of that?! genius!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, such a nice color palette. it was nice to meet you at the book party:)
ReplyDeleteso neat!! I wish I could have a display case of all these different specimens in my room!
ReplyDeleteNeat trick, I might give it a try haha! But more seriously, your pictures were worth it, and I will defend you against the natural history police as your noble action was 'charitably sharing information and culture with the geographically disabled'-- nothing wrong with that!
ReplyDeleteOh I love this stuff!

ReplyDeletehey, i love your blog. . . your post are witty and the pictures are inspiring. . . thanks for existing! i have a" featured blog of the week" on my site, and you are mine for the week! I stole your header for posting purposes! anyways you are awesome!
ReplyDeleteI've never understood the "no photographs allowed" policy at these wonderful places (flash photography,yes). Seriously, do they think we are going to try and duplicate their displays somehow? Thanks for showing us the places for those of us on the other side of the country!!!
ReplyDeleteOh! more sneaky photos! I can see why you would brak the rules these are just darling!

ReplyDeleteI have often done the same thing...fingers crossed they don't find you!Hax be first in ine to bail you out!!
ReplyDeleteYou excel at subterfuge. This place looks sublime. If only it weren't thousands of miles away.
ReplyDeleteyour photographs are so beautiful
ReplyDeletei stumbled upon your blog a while back and i love it!
keep it up
Very sneaky. Better than the Toot n' Shoot. Great shots.
ReplyDeleteI like the technique! Sneaky devil! :)
ReplyDeleteSo crafty! I love these shots. So beautiful and delicate.
ReplyDeleteOoh that looks like such an interesting place. Haha illegal sneaky photos are the perfect level of rebelliousness for me, they hated me in Venice.

This is fantastic. I kind of want it all ;)
sneeze-and-click is BRILLIANT.
ReplyDeletepete and i worked the one-two-punch this weekend at the forest research institute & silviculture museum of india (my god, you'd have DIED. and prally taken much better pictures). it goes like this: he strikes up a convo with the guard in hindi, which surprises the guard (not many gringos speak the hindi here) and then i go about snapping pics of crusty raj-era tree-related ephemera and stuffed tigers. you just might have to stop by bigBANG to see it to believe it. you just might.
i've been here! and also took sneaky photos! which haven't made it onto the blog yet (its been over a year, hah) but now i might be inspired to do it. they have such an incredible collection- fossils, rocks, tiny bugs. and its all so historical!
ReplyDeletethese are just amazing!
ReplyDeleteYou got some amazing photos for using the sneeze manoeuvre :) Mine usually come out a bit blurry.
ReplyDeleteI just found this blog and I am bookmarking it to make sure that I never take a photo again: yours have absolutely shamed me and my lack of skills. Beautiful documentation. Lovely.
