About that shot on the cover— Can you really shoot Mona? | ___________________________________________________ Now budding digital photographers can get real help, because this little book was written by a teacher/photographer who has worked with hundreds of adult students and their cameras. Inside you’ll find the answers: Which digital camera should I buy? OR—How do I get better pictures with it? I’ve filled up my camera with pictures. How do I get them off? I thought I put shots on the computer? Where are they? Do I need a new computer? What’s the best way to print digital photos? I want to do is email my pictures, but I can’t figure out how! My camera’s manual makes no sense. This guide directs you to the essentials, so you can start having fun taking quality digital pictures. Who knows? Maybe someday you, too, will shoot Mona! Smile for the camera, girl! ___________________________________________ About the shot on the cover:  When I visited the Louvre in June 2005, I was amazed to find the Mona Lisa in a huge, bright room with a giant skylight. Photography was allowed, even flash photography. It seemed that every other visitor had a digital camera.
She was recessed in a archival box, with either a plexiglas or glass cover that is probably coated with UV and other light spectrum filtration. Even though small signs are posted&mdash:which I found out about later but never saw—, every other person was shooting away, with digital cameras
and video cameras and phone cameras. The cover was hit by flashes and the focus beams. It isn't possible to get a clear photo. I enjoyed taking pictures of people taking pictures.
She used to watch you move as you looked at her. Now she placidly and peacefully watches as she “poses” for millions of pictures. She seems to be saying, “Yes, you are very sweet to take my picture, but you are not the first and you will not be the last.” What would Leonardo think?
