The Shell Barn, Big Sur

2007 / 2012.

I shot this photo in May 2007, in the moments after Josh asked me to be his wife.  As we traveled the winding road through Big Sur, we spotted this beautiful little barn.  Josh pulled the truck to the side of the road, I jumped out and snapped this photograph, and we continued on towards Southern California excited to share the news...

Children of Earth and Sun

- Buildings, too, are children of Earth and Sun.
Frank Lloyd Wright

I shot these photographs a few months ago, on a beautiful Sunday morning. The Marin County Civic Center was Frank Lloyd Wright's last and 770th commission.

I've visited a couple of times, and with each visit I see more clearly how the building's colors disappear into the landscape of Marin's golds, ambers, and blues. The building is showing signs of wear, which I think makes it even more beautiful. See some really cool photos of the building circa 1957 here and here.
