A Loss for Words

       I'm remembering our last "shoot" for my photography class in summer 2011.   It was at the Getty Villa in Malibu with art works and architecture from the Greeks, Romans, and Etruscans.
  
       Shooting these pieces and classic Roman architecture and landscaping, I was attentive to the visual, and my usual museum behavior with lots of reading went out the window.  We had visual art to be recorded, and I skipped a whole lot of verbal learning and acquired instead greater sense appreciation aided by focusing through the camera’s lens.

       Loss is sometimes gain; words can encumber the eye.
