De Young goodness

I've been on kind of a dog kick lately, so when I saw a pair of these life-size pups carved into a mantelpiece at the De Young museum today, I had to take pictures.

There was other cool stuff too, including a head study by Frank Duveneck that blew me away. What a painter!

I'm still figuring out the best camera settings like shutter speed, color stuff etc, so no complaining if the photos are a bit blurry or weird colors. Also, I'm getting a weird lens distortion. One of these days I'll figure out how to photoshop that out.
