Give to me your Leather

These photos are from the Experience Music Project Museum. My sister's conference had a reception there when we were in Seattle a couple of weeks ago, and my family was able to attend as guests. We'd been there before, so we didn't take many pictures, but I had to take some shots of these amazing jackets that were on display as part of the Leather Jacket exhibit.

So much personality in an item of clothing.

This jacket may not be as shiny,
but I like this shot because it shows the 2-story high sculpture in the background.
There are 500 musical instruments in the sculpture.

I was fascinated by the reflection of the bartender in the chrome ceiling. I wasn't able to capture it on film quite the way I wanted to -- I think it's kind of hard to tell what's what, if you don't know what you're looking at. Your eye is drawn to the people in the foreground, but I'm afraid if I crop them out you won't be able to tell that it's a reflection and not just a shot from above.
This is one of the crops suggested by my photo-editing program. Better?
Saturday Snapshot is now hosted by Melinda. (Thank you, Alyce, for the time and energy you put into making this such a fun weekly tradition.) To participate, post a photo that you or a friend took, and post the link at West Metro Mommy.
