Lautner's Sheats-Goldstein Residence. A successful blurring of the boundary between indoor and outdoor space. I am especially in love with the entry sequence into this house - walking beneath the cantilevered edge of the roof through what feels like indoor space, but then again, feels like a jungle. You walk through a stainless steel gate that feels like the door to a safe, then over the koi pond and through a glass slider into the house. All of the exterior glass walls open in some way, as do the skylights overhead. Only in Southern California. Ah...the architectural possibilities...

I don't usually post this kind of thing, but I came across Swedish artist Tove Mauritzson's work today and had to share it. Enjoy

Venice // March 2011

This is what I've been working on lately - multiple exposures. I hate digital photo manipulation, so I'm going to keep shooting this way until I get some skater busting a crazy air.. Frustrating because this would have been infinitely better, but that's what you get when you shoot multiple exposures on actual film and don't photoshop! Repetition yields results... we'll see what turns out on the next roll..

out of the fire

We're working on a bar/music venue that was completely destroyed in a fire last year. The place is an empty shell right now, with shoring holding up the masonry walls. There is no roof on the building, except some of these 49' long steel girders. The girders pictured here had to be demo'd because they were damaged in the heat of the fire. Each one weighs around 3000 lbs. We had the guys save them for us so we can re-use them in the design of the actual bar (moving them around to bend them into the bar shape is going to be an exercise in logistics..).

I like the idea of the history of the place recorded in its new interior..more to follow!
