The Louvre Museum in Paris contains three of the planet's most photographed pieces of art; the Mona Lisa, the Winged Victory (or Goddess Victory), and of course the Venus De Milo. Taking a picture of any of them is quite difficult in the Louvre due to lighting conditions, but mostly due to the very aggressive photographic competition, all pushing and shoving at the same time for the best view. On a recent Sunday afternoon I spent my time there taking photos of people taking photos on their cell phones. As for Venus (shown above) I counted over 90 people taking photos of her at the same time, and it was rather amusing watching all of them at work.
