Michael Garnier talks about his treehouse collection and B&B resort. It’s in Takilma, Oregon.

I love this guy, he’s the John Muir (How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive) of the treehouse world.

This documentary takes a while but its well worth it. Garnier and his little Jack Russell terrier are treasures.

My long time flickr contact Mr. Inky has posted a spectacular black and white image of the Time Warner Center in New York.

The Glass House happens to be in my backyard (New Canaan, Connecticut) and I’ve never been there. This is a nice piece at core77 on restoring and preserving a Donald Judd concrete sculpture that’s installed on the 47 acre grounds.

American Masters just aired a great documentary on the designers Charles and Ray Eames, the influential American designers. I highly recommend watching it by following the above link.

This series of images was taken on visits to the Getty Center in Los Angeles, California over an eight year period.

I usually find this type of modern architecture sterile, but here the architect Richard Meier created spaces that are not only pleasant to be in but include interesting lines, windows, angles, curves, and textures in almost every view. Looking abstractly at these details reveals patterns that capture my eye as a photographer, and as many visual artists know, once you notice something like this, it’s hard to let go of it. I continue to visit the Getty and add to this collection.

Here’s the entire set so far: Getty Center Abstractions

I have a show of these images coming up next month. If you’re in the area stop by.

I never posted the “official” show announcement for the show I have coming up. Here it is for those of you who might be close enough to come. I’ve been printing and framing and getting the images together and I must say I’m pleased.

Walking around New York the other day the reflection possibilities were too good to pass up. These were taken with the new Canon Powershot S100 which I’m quite impressed with. The 24mm angle of view is great as are many of the small ergonomic and image rendering improvements in the camera.
