Camera to iPad fail

I went to the Apple store. The bloke at the door said that my camera can not talk to my iPad 6 because the iPad doesn’t have the means to do it. But he sent me across to the bloke by the bits and bobs who said that he had just the thing for me. He sold it to me. After museuming all day, I tried it out and it didn’t work. The iPad flatly denied being able to do anything. So I took it back and got my money back.

Which I promptly spent at a Dick Blick art supply store that is only two blocks from our hotel. What bliss. It is the biggest, best stocked art shop I have ever been in. 

So photos here will be the view from our bed. If I can figure that out.

I found the Mutter Medical Museum rather cramped and repetitive. The giant’s skeleton beside a dwarf’s was impressive. And there was a pretty herbal garden. The main reason I went was to see the woven hair which was rather creepy. The 19th C Americans really went OTT with spiked rick-rack made from the hair of everybody they knew, alive or dead.

Then I went to the Perleman annex of the Philly Museum of Art because it is touted as a marvellous Art Deco building. Unfortunately, modern extensions and improvements have swamped the Art Deco interior. But the is an interesting exhibition of the work of Keith Smith who made lots of artists books about his life at home. I suspect he was/is a trifle obsessive/compulsive. But, you probably have to be to make art over a lifetime.
