I went on the World Wide Photo Walk on Saturday in Lewes Delaware . It was started 3 years ago by Photoshop guru Scott Kelby. There was over 30,000 photographers who took part all over the world . Our group of 50 was led by Judy G. Rolfe, a former USA Today photo editor,and freelance photographer. I met some really niice people and had a wonderful time.
One of those sights that makes you scream "Pull over! Pull over!" when driving by, even if you're the only person in the car.

I am really battling with these Crayola crayon colors for the sixty-four color group....the only brick red thing I could find this week is our shower curtain and I couldn't think of a clever way to shoot it. So here it is, in all its boring glory.

Twin-Bricks, Saitama, 2008
TWIN BRICKS
Twin-Bricks, consists of two wings - A five unit rental dwelling and the owner’s own two-family house. It is located in a quiet residential area, just 20 minutes by train from Tokyo. In order to secure some space for the owner’s car collection, the owner’s wing (RC Wing) stands closer to the road than the rental wing (S Wing). The rental wing is clad in both autoclaved lightweight concrete (ALC) panels as well as glass blocks.
S WING
The S Wing, based on the previously completed “Crystal Brick” House, introduces ALC panels as aseismatic elements in order to improve cost-effectiveness in the face of earthquake safety. The arrangement of glass block and ALC panel was derived from a series of experiments. The results showed that the ALC panel fail leaving the glass blocks intact, providing enhanced safety for the occupants. An intriguing spatial composition materializes due to the seemingly random composition of the glass block and ALC Panels which hide all structure.
RC WING
With the purpose of alleviating noise from the garage and providing a sense of privacy for the owners, Atelier Tekuto Co., Ltd. created the “RC structure + exterior thermal insulation” construction method. Costs were significantly reduced by introducing high-pressure wood wool cement boards and integrating the boards as form works. Original tiles were also developed after careful consideration.
The overall experience of Twin Bricks is heightened by the juxtaposition of the heavy RC wing and light S wing and between the transparency of glass versus the opacity of the ALC panels. Though these materials seem to be in antithesis, they exhibit a material harmony when partnered together.

The other side of the wall. Not sure what's in the bags; maybe sand, maybe trash, maybe lots of untraceable currency.
After Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor, America imprisoned thousands of Japanese-Americans in internment camps in several remote locations spread over the US. One of these camps was called Topaz and was right here in Utah. More than 8000 Japanese-Americans were held prisoner for the duration of WWII in this remote camp fenced with barbed wire and patrolled by armed guards.
More information about the history of Topaz can be found HERE
This set shows what is left of Topaz today.
