ghosts

a shark exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC explaining something between life and death (it’s suspended in a huge tank of formaldehyde)


we were not allowed to take pictures, but the woman guarding the exhibit said we could take as many pictures as we wanted as soon as she went on break in 5 minutes, permitted we didn’t get caught by the next guard. i love rules

Available for sale as

Greeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints and Framed Prints
