museum visit

My visit to the Cantor Museum was really fun. I thought that it was really cool that it was free to get into, and yet the museum was very nice and beautiful. There were so many different kinds of art from so many different time periods. The piece of art that I found interesting was called Sacrifice of Jeroboam by Moeyaert. This painting has many idealized figures and represents part of the Bible. The artist used light to dramatize the confrontation between King Jeroboam and "the man of God." Overall I found it to be a really great experience, and I had never been to that museum before so it was cool to see some new things.

I think that Talbot's perseverance to create a camera that would not leave him frustrated is inspiring. He worked so hard and discovered new ideas and techniques to make it work. Obviously this relates to everyday life because the camera is a widely used piece of equipment. His starting work led the way for the modern day cameras, and his perseverance is inspiring to create more useful things.
