Today I came across the work of Andy Freeberg. His Guardians collections is WONDERFUL!!! He captures images of the women who work in Russian art galleries guarding the art work. It's so fun and beautiful and culturally interesting to me.
I saw the work in Magenta Magazine Online which was also a new discovery and an interesting find. I'm posting a few of my favs from his Guardians work but please visit Andy's website and take a look at his work on Magenta as well.

From his Artist Statement about the collection:
In the art museums of Russia, women sit in the galleries and guard the collections. When you look at the paintings and sculptures, the presence of the women becomes an inherent part of viewing the artwork itself. I found the guards as intriguing to observe as the pieces they watch over.
