Help with a statue in the Louvre?
 

I guess this is a bizarre request for help, but ...

I'm preparing my travel book of our trip to France last May for DW's Christmas present. One of many pictures I want to put in the book is a statue from the Louvre that struck my fancy. Unfortunately I forgot to get the name or the artist (possibly from antiquity and no artist name?)

I've gone to the Louvre website to see if I can find it there. Although they have photos of about 4500 statues on their website, I couldn't find this one. If anyone can help I would be extremely grateful.

I'll still include it in my book even without its identity, but I do prefer knowing!

Thanks,

Sam

I'd like to help, but that link isn't working for me.

I think you have to share the photos so they can be viewed by someone other than yourself.

Sorry - I didn't realize that kodak wouldn't allow the public to see the image. I've sent Adrienne an e-mail with an invitation to look at it since her email is posted here.

If there's some other way I can post the one picture I'd be glad to.

Sam:

Send yourself an email with the link, then open up that email and copy and paste the URL here.

Thanks, StCirq. Here it is. Let's see if it works this time.

Sam,

There should be a setting somewhere
in your Kodak gallery account whereby
you can make the photos viewable publicly. I'm afraid the link still
doesn't work...

At the top of the Kodak Screen, click on Share Photos. Type in your own email address and send them to yourself. Then open the email and copy and paste the link here.

This presumes you have already uploaded your photos, including this one, to the Kodak Gallery.

Here's the link.

Thanks for trying to help Adrienne. When I click your link, I'm taken to an AT&T website?

I tried to do what StCirq recommended and that didn't work. I'm now online with Kodak trying to find a way.

Thanks for your patience. I'm sure it's easy to fix once I get it figured out.

Sam

Kodak is telling me that I have to input the email addresses of everyone I want to share my photos with. That's ridiculous! Guess I need to upload my photos somewhere else that is more cooperative.

Sorry to have inconvenienced anyone.

Sam

This is a more explicit set of instructions elaborating on what St. Cirq said.

On kodakgallery, click that you want to share the photos. Select that album. Share it with yourself by putting your e-mail address in the to box. Enter a subject name. Make sure the box requiring people to sign in is unchecked. Click send invitation.

Open your e-mail from kodakgallery. There is a line that says, "If you can't see the pictures in this email, click here to see it in a web browser:". This is followed by a link. Copy that link. Paste it into your reply here on Fodors.

Click preview my reply. Look at the link in the preview on the left side. Click on it to test it. If it opens the picture you want, you have succeeded and should post your reply.

I don't have online photos, but I believe there are websites that allow public viewing. I think Flickr is one of those, try that.

To all my many helpers -

I've followed Nikki's "clarification" of StCirq's advice and here's the link. If it does work, thanks must go to everyone EXCEPT Kodak. Both their on-line and phone tech support told me that this was impossible. I told them that they were wrong because I've linked to several other people's albums who I have never shared an email address with.

Here goes:

By the way, the statue I'm interested in is the first photo shown.

Thanks again,

Sam

Sam - if you send me a jpg file (rather than the bitmap you sent before) I'll load it on my shutterfly account and then folks can view it. Then you'll have time to straighten out your Kodak site problems.

I'm not sure why the link to the photo didn't work. It was linked to an AT&T site since that is my ISP.

OK - glad you got this going so folks can see the photo!

All I see is a photo of the statue at night - i.e. a black page and something loading which takes ages and then gets stuck halfway.

(Oh my, I'm really curious now what this mystery statue might be...)

not familiar. but i do have an art book i picked up from the museum gift shop when i was at the louvre years ago. I will see if I can find it for you there.

All -

Sorry that the first link (actually the 2nd or 3rd) took so long to load. That's because it's to all my France pictures of last May. If you want to shorten the time to get to the photo of the statue of interest, go to:

Thanks again to all you diligent Fodorites!

Sam

If it's only one picture of the statue, and to avoid having others go thru all your photos

- create another album with that one (or two or three) of the statue photos.

Then send this "new" album to yourself and as instructions above, extract the URL of the album and cut/paste here.
