Another one of Caroline's house. I pushed this film a rediculous amount to get the interesting colors and grain. I think it was 100 ISO and I set it to 1600 ISO.

Why Hummers are awesome.

Eyesore of the Month

October 2003

This one says it all -- and thanks to Judy Peer of Rochester, New York -- who found this monument to greed and chauvenism on Winton Road there. The tattooed eagle stradles a lumpish, deflated earth (perhaps punctured by its talons) before the ranks of Humvees waiting for buyers who can take advantage of the special corporate tax break for vehicles over 6000 pounds (nice work Karl Rove!). Notice, the setting is one of those innumerable places not worth caring about which someday will add up to a nation not worth defending.

Why I don't really like Frank Gehry

Eyesore of the Month

October 2005


The Peter B. Lewis Building for Case Western Reserve University's Weatherhead School of Management. Architect: Frank Gehry. If your dog had a tumor like this the vets would just shake their heads and put him to sleep. The design follows the logic of cancer: invade and overwhelm the host organism. It's appropriate that this building houses the business school, because it aptly expresses the disfigurement of American economic practice in our time: banality meets pathology in a tragic duet.

Afternoon.

By far, the most impressive piece of architecture/sculpture that we saw while in MPLS was James Turrell's installation at the Walker. You must go. Spend the entire day there if you can, or at least go a couple times throughout the day. You shouldn't be dissappointed.

Here's the new Guthrie theater in MPLS. Jean Nouvel was the architect. It's weird, but pretty cool at night. Was too busy to go inside unfortuanately.

You're all in luck! We have today off so I finally get to put up a picture of something other than our house. These are some Indian ruins close to Bluff. They're not as publicized so we actually can climb up to them. These are called the 16 house ruins.
