Standing in Front of More Interesting Stuff

<p>National Geographic photographer Jim Richardson is said to have said, &ldquo;If you want to become a better photographer, stand in front of more interesting stuff.&rdquo; Apparently, he may never have said that, but it doesn&rsquo;t matter. It&rsquo;s more than a flip comment. It deserves some thought.</p> <p>Museums have a lot of interesting stuff, of course. It&rsquo;s their whole point. They are one of my favorite places to practice photography, partly because I love art, but it&rsquo;s not just for art. Museums cover history, crafts, science &mdash; planes, trains, and automobiles &mdash; an endless list. And don&rsquo;t forget botanical exhibits, zoos, and arboretums.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/live-view/standing-in-front-of-more-interesting-stuff-32f055cdc6ff"><strong>Visit Now</strong></a></p>
