Bertrand Goldberg never did anything the conventional way, and River City is a good late example of that instinct. Completed in 1986, it was meant as a fragment of something much bigger, a 230-acre riverfront development that never fully materialized, leaving this serpentine residential complex as the surviving core of a far more ambitious vision. The 446 units inside sit behind a facade that refuses to go flat: bay after curved bay bulging outward and tucking back in, echoing the same sculptural logic Goldberg brought to Marina City a couple decades earlier, just pushed into a longer, more sinuous form.

Shooting straight on lets that rhythm carry the whole frame, each rounded projection catching light a little differently than its neighbor, the roofline cutting a diagonal path against a flat white sky. Streaked and weathered where Chicago winters have worked on the raw concrete for nearly forty years, the building wears its age without apology, the material itself becoming part of the visual story rather than something to be cleaned up or hidden.

It's brutalist massing with an organic, almost biological sensibility, hard material shaped into something that moves like it's breathing.

In downtown Jackson, Michigan, on August 12th, 2018, outside a former office building of the Jackson Citizen Patriot newspaper, on the west side of South Jackson Street, north of West Washington Avenue.

The building was demolished in 2019. I think it was probably from the 1960s, per a review of Polk city directories at ancestry.com.

This room is not trying to be an ordinary gallery. It is a deliberate, respectful recreation of a traditional Navajo hogan, and that changes the entire experience of standing inside it. The walls are built from stacked, peeled logs that meet at sharp angles—this is an eight-sided structure. In Diné culture, the hogan is more than just a house. The eight sides represent the four directions and the four sacred mountains, grounding the shelter in a living cosmology. It is a space designed for safety, ceremony, and community.

Hanging on the back wall is a beautifully detailed, framed work of art—a layered, multi-colored composition of stylized figures, birds, geometric bands, and human forms. It likely draws from the tradition of sandpainting, a sacred healing art where intricate, temporary designs are created on the floor during ceremonies. By placing this artwork inside a hogan rather than on a sterile white wall, the museum invites you to sit on the low wooden benches, look at the piece in its cultural home, and absorb it with the quiet reverence it deserves. It is a reminder that art from Indigenous cultures is not meant to be just looked at—it is meant to be lived with and understood within its own spiritual framework.

I fell in love with the final product! The legs are as precious as the top of the stool! too cute. Done in water-based glossy enamel and hit with several coats of non-yellowing polyurathane

A momentary alignment in the heart of Ludlow. I love the contrast between the rigid, geometric lines of the historic timber-framed buildings and the soft, craters of the moon hanging in a clear Shropshire sky.

Using a longer focal length allowed me to pull the moon closer to the architecture, emphasizing the height and heritage of the town.

Cherry Pie Recipe

2 pie crusts (I use store bought crusts and roll them super thin)

2 cans sour cherries (for 1 small pie)

1/4 cup corn starch

1 cup sugar

Drain the juice off the cherries (reserve the juice!! )

Add cornstarch to a little bit of the juice to dissolve it. Add Sugar and cornstarch mixture to the juice and cook on medium high until it thickens. Add cherries after the juice starts to thicken.

Pour cherries and juice into pie crust and top with 2nd pie crust.

bake at 375 for an hour
