#museumofprinting

The last museum I visited in Antwerp was a #jobrelated #MuseumOfPrinting . This is a 500 year old #PlantinMoretusMuseum , one of the first #PrintShops in Europe and living quarters of the celebrated printer dynasty. They were rich and on the cutting edge of printing business back in those days. #PeterPaulRubens painted a portrait of just about every member of that dynasty for as long as he was alive. Separate post of them will follow. #Antwerp (at Museum Plantin-Moretus) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6c7S_-ha_n/?igshid=1tavvpf7cmgea

While I was shooting a completely different assignment, I captured this impromptu portrait. I was at the Museum of Printing in Haverhill shooting content for the newest @bookbuildersofboston book. Shot with a single strobe and umbrella. I spent the first ten minutes chatting with the artist and under thirty seconds capturing this photo of him. Honest Abe said something along the lines of “If I spend four hours chopping down a tree, I’ll spend the first three sharpening my axe.” #artist #painter #haverhill #artistatwork #museumofprinting (at The Museum of Printing) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuYFBxQHk47/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=l7lggpfl5f2c
