Academic Excursion

Over the doorway at the Clark Library.


The painted Steinway in the great room.


People in the great room. (For scale, the two middle persons are both over six feet tall. This is a large room)

I just finished writing and submitting a paper on this poem. We got to touch this 1730s first edition. Way cool.


Heaven will look a little something like this (with an added comfy sofa and/or window seat).


The exterior of the Clark.

(I'll post more from the series on Flickr.)

It does indeed look a little bit like heaven. I like the poses of the people you've captured, especially in the great room shot.

Thanks for those photos. I never did get to the Clark, I guess because I didn't work on the 18th century, but my grad school friends who worked there always made it sound like heaven. And now I see why!

this looks like something out of England, it really does to me!
beautiful shots and I do like your version of heaven! I will have one too.
