Another one from the Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University. Coming down the stairs of the museum, I was struck by the competing patterns on the floor and the receptionist's desk stuck smack-dab in the middle of all the confusion. I suspect that, when the floor was designed, no thought was given to any furniture that had to be placed on it!
The phrase smack-dab means "slapped precisely in the center." According to the Oxford English Dictionary, smack-dab showed up in print in 1892: "He hit him smack dab in the mouth".
I'm not sure the lady's job-title is "receptionist", but it's the best I could come up with. And remember, my objective here is creative photography, not words!
