The garden bouncing off the windows.
In his ... gardens ... Noguchi achieved subtle ... syntheses of nature with the man-made, fusing organic and geometric, balancing intuition with intellect. 'California Scenario' seamlessly integrates them. ... it is an enclosed space adjacent to an office building, 'California Scenario' appears open and spacious; the proportional relationship of the asymmetric pyramid to the smaller rocks and plants creates a sense of vastness and scale beyond the actual dimensions of the garden. Local desert stones unify this environment in color and texture. The channel of water running through the center contrasts with, and enhances, the viewer's awareness of the surrounding dryness. The pronounced individuality of elements of the Beinecke courtyard has here matured into a cohesive whole; sculpture and environment are one.
From the catalogue 'Isamu Noguchi: Master Sculptor', by Valerie Fletcher, Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden.
Thank you, in advance, to those of you who take a moment to leave a comment and/or fave my photo. I appreciate it tremendously.
Tomorrowland embodies the Space Age and the optimistic advancement of humanity, promising the day when we will touch the stars.
The "Googie" architecture — a space age look that was enormously popular during the 1950s — first appeared in Tomorrowland in 1959.
The most insane thing about this photo now that I look at it is the multiple reflections of the windows in the windows. I thought I was taking a photo of wrought iron balconies. But no...
I shot my first show with an "official" backstage pass, and it was absolutely wonderful and terrifying and intense. Being in between the stage and the audience with seven other photographers, with people constantly bombarding you with their heads and their bodies as they crowdsurf, the speakers ringing in your ears...there are few words to describe it. I was a little bit afraid to jump in the fray at first, because there were so many other photographers with quite better equipment than I have, but I looked down at my little bracelet and it gave me the small amount of courage I needed to dive right in there and get my own shots. And damn, was it fun. I want to do nothing but this for the rest of my life.
This is the lead singer Jake Wolf from Reflections, one of the bands that played last night. They put on a phenomenal show. There are more photos from this show on my Facebook page; there's a link down below.
The pine tree in the middle is actually a reflection of a tree branch hanging out over the pond. You can see a faint ripple on the water near the largest "V" in the limb.
didn't quite work out as planned - I might have to try it in the morning (so the shadow is behind the frame) and on a day that isn't so windy. Also, looking at it now, I should have tried to compose the reflected picture better. Feedback welcome, especially if anyone has done a similar shot
Sometimes nature makes the most puzzling and amazing patterns. This is just a trifling example of the statement.
