The Association of Moving Image Archivists Conference in Portland
As you know, in addition to photographing architecture and design, I really enjoy capturing live events, especially if dark/difficult/unusual lighting is involved.

The namesake and inspiration of Don Henley’s Sunset Grill. The first few times I heard this song, when I was in junior high, it struck me as mysterious, a slow ride into a future sunset of some kind. When I hear it now, it’s even more sublime, magnetic and massive in its tense, structured angst. […]
The Young Research Library at UCLA (it used to be called the University Research Library), by A. Quincy Jones, Architect. I spent many, many hours here back in the day, and still love the place. With a now renovated first floor, the upper floors still evoke the pleasant hours spent studying architecture, photography, and random other […]
