Picture of the Day 2/20

CONima Jet Fuel:

My friends at Mercedes sent this photo after they moved into their new space and told me to use it in an advertisement one day.

I have now fulfilled my end of the bargain...Thanks for the photo!

Sadness:

If I'm being completely honest, I questioned whether I should post this photo. It has nothing really to do with architecture but has always been one of my favorites because the emotion on my son's face is just completely honest. We had just gone to the aquarium. He wanted to go play in the fountains and absolutely did not want to walk back to the car. I had to capture the moment, and needless to say took him to the fountains right after I put the camera up.

Filament 2:

One photo I took in a series done for the Electric Power Research Institute in 2005. This photo seems to capture an almost dancing energy in the bulb by capturing the image with the least amount of current I could pass through the bulb while still activating the filament.

textural wave:

One of the gifts of photography is the macro lens. The ability to see the world from an extreme close up perspective informs the way we design, thinking of how things are seen through multiple scales and ensuring that a design reads well at a distance, yet also maintains visual interest when up close.

A picture I took on a recent trip camping in Idaho. I stopped at the riverbank and spent the late afternoon seeing how many rocks I could balance in the water. I love this shot because for me it became architecture when the bug decided that it looked like a nice place to rest.
