Imperial Treasury Regalia– David Nipper 2012

Photos my father took in the Vienna Kaiserliche Schatzkammer at my behest (“Daaaad, I need it for art reference!”); obviously flash-photography wasn’t allowed in the museum, but they did let you take pictures– so my dad went and took these extra-long exposure shots, sometimes stabilizing the camera lens against the glass in order to get detail shots of this beautiful embroidery. He did this up until the curators politely told him to stop (the museum staff in Vienna must rack up so much good karma…).  

Anyway; my dad is trooper and this embroidery is just beyond belief. In this particular case I have no regrets about having been an obnoxious tourist.
