The Fish in Question


This is the original fish that I was thinking of in the previous post. If I have never posted this picture before, I will be shocked, because this remains one of my most favorite pictures ever. It's a terribly old flattened fish, you guys! You can thank my sister for telling me to take this picture. Or she might have taken it herself with my camera. All I remember is that she was there and she is responsible.

I think there were more , ahem, people than just your sister responsible for a number of odd photos at that museum. I seem to remember an un-official (meaning no prize offered) contest for oddest item......

Well yes, I'm sure lots of people were responsible for lots of OTHER weird photos. I distinctly remember a length of human skin coiled up in one of a hundred drawers of a very large and terrifying cabinet. I really wanted to take a photo of that but didn't, perhaps because at that point I still had a sense of propriety.
