Photographing a Photograph

This is the first photograph I took at the Met yesterday. I was looking at these Helen Levitt photographs and then noticed this woman doing close-up photographs of them, and the exhibition captions. It just seemed funny at first, but then I realized I often do the same thing! For the permanent collection at the Met, they allow photographs of the paintings, drawings, and sculptures. I often photograph these things as a reminder to myself or to study later. In fact, yesterday I photographed a number of the postcards I saw. So there's the logic, but it is still a funny photograph, I think.
