Getty Museum : <font size=3pt face='times' color=seagreen>The Getty Center presents the Getty's collection of Western art from the Middle Ages to the present against a backdrop of dramatic architecture, beatiful gardens, and breathtaking views. Since opening in 1997, has quickly assumed its place in the L.A. landscape as the city's cultural acropolis. Headquarters for the Getty Trust's research, education, philanthropic, and conservation concerns, the postmodernist complex -- perched on a hillside in the Santa Monica mountains and swathed in Italian travertine marble -- is most frequently visited for the museum galleries displaying the Getty's enormous collection of Impressionist paintings, French furniture and decorative arts, fine illuminated manuscripts, contemporary photography, and European drawings. The area that's open to the public consists of five two-story pavilions set around an open courtyard, and each gallery within is specially designed to complement the works on display. (http://www.getty.edu/visit/) In this location, I used the Nikon D40 and the Nikon AF 24mm f/2.8D and the AF 50mm f/1.8D.</font>

Queen Mary : <font size=3pt face='times' color=seagreen>Located just across the harbor from Aquarium of the Pacific, this 81,237 ton passenger liner (overall length 1,019.5 ft.) that entered service in 1936 was retired in 1967 and arrived in Long Beach, Calif. where it is permanently moored. During World War II, the Queen Mary carried a total of 765,429 military personnel, sailed a total of 569,429 miles, carried up to 15,000 troops at one time, carried wounded returning to the United States, transported Winston Churchill three times to conferences and carried 12,886 G.I. brides and children. It is now a a museum and a resort hotel. http://www.queenmary.com/ In this location, I used the Nikon D40 and the AF-S 18-70 DX</font>

Getty Villa : <font size=3pt face='times' color=seagreen>Oil magnate J. Paul Getty used some of his vast wealth to amass an incredible art and antiquities collection. In the early 70s, he had a Romanesque villa constructed next to his house to be a permanent museum for his collection. The Getty Villa, modeled after the partially excavated Villa dei Papiri in Italy, became the home of the J. Paul Getty Museum in 1974. After a nine-year, $275 million renovation and expansion the J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Villa has re-opened as home to the Museum’s Antiquities Collection. In terms of pure grandeur, it puts most other art museums to shame. Only the Huntington Library & Gardens can rival the Getty Villa for the sheer beauty of its grounds and buildings. Perched atop a small hill overlooking Pacific Coast Highway and the ocean, the Getty Villa sits in all its elegance like some grand Roman villa of old. (http://www.getty.edu/visit/) In this location, I used the Nikon D40 and the Nikon AF-S 18-70 DX. The lens came through as with the San Juan Capistrano shoot.</font>

Bishkek - State Historical Museum 05/2009 : This museum used to be the Lenin Museum. Although I'm by no means a fan of communist regimes, some very unique exhibts are on display. With unique I don't imply the communist heroes, but rather the Kyrgyz history and art exhibits. And BTW the museum charges you an arm and leg for using the camera. Don't know if this was Lenin's intenion.
