The Museum of Natural HIstory in NYC had a temporary version of this, and it was absolutely terrific! Its a total photo op from the time you go in til the time you leave, with butterflies all over every surface, and wide-eyed children agape. I went to it, once. I had no camera of my own. I had to use my friend's disposable with the wonky flash. The night before, I went to a rock concert where I had a balcony seat, and it turned out the hall didn't care about photography. I had no camera of my own. I had to use my friend's disposable (where the wonky flash was no consequence). Of course, before the show I spent a beautiful overcast day in Central Park where it was deserted, the trees were misty and photogenic as all get out, and there were some people dancing by the bandshell, otherwise deserted. I, of course, had no cmaera of my own. I didn't bother with my friend's disposable with the wonky flash. I'm still bitter about that trip.. :) Anyways, long story short: Butterfly garden = Very, very cool. -- http://www.infotainment.org <-> more fun than a poke in your eye. http://www.eighteenpercent.com <-> photography and portfolio.
