I really like the frames within the frames of this one Scott! Nice work, despite the naughtiness!

I don't see how he can complain about people taking photos of him when he's copying a picture himself.

I visited Tate modern a few weeks ago, and there was a 'No photography' sign at the door of a photography exhibition. Always makes me laugh.

Wonderful dark tones to the photo by the way.

It was a scene that required dark tones - it's as much about the art as it is the artist, so rendering him very low key helps reinforce that. I composed it to purposely highlight the intersecting planes and geometry of the painting on the easel in contrast to the paintings on the wall.

Yes, and you also have the rectangles of the 'no camera ' sign, and the small table on the bottom left of the picture, as well as the shapes made by the floor tiles.
