Ready with the spotlight
May 14, 2012
Last Sunday evening, with the little energy I had left after walking 20 miles, I went to a very funny David Sedaris reading at Boston’s Symphony Hall. I loved the moments just before the show began – this setting which is normally reserved for elaborate symphony performances was set up with a simple podium and spotlight.

Designer building
April 30, 2012
MIT’s Stata Center, designed by Frank Gehry in 2004, is both loved and hated. Given MIT’s lawsuit against Frank Gehry and the construction companies that completed the building due to all sorts of water issues, I’d guess they are on the hate end of the spectrum. I wasn’t crazy about the building either, but it looked just right in the sun the other day, so I might be changing my mind…

Urban framing

Nothing beats using what’s already there to frame a picture.
Happy Friday!

River City, too

Another building by Bertrand Goldberg, River City is a study in repetition if you ask me.
Happy Friday!

Marina City
April 19, 2012
This 1964 building complex in Chicago was the tallest residential building in the world when it was completed! A lot has changed since then, but I still think they look modern in a city known for it’s architecture.

Traveling back in time…
April 18, 2012
I took a little trip to the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum the other day. The museum has an amazing collection of personal and Presidential artifacts, videos and photos that really made you feel like you were living in all those moments (even though they happened before my time). The building itself, designed by I.M. Pei, is also quite impressive, and I loved this tall and impressive atrium right on the water.

View from across the river
April 13, 2012
It’s funny how you have to get out of a city in order to have a nice view of it. So I was soaking up the view of Boston from an MIT building on this bright sunny day as it’s not my usual view of Boston.
Happy Friday!

Red, green and blue… with a tiny splash of orange.

Warm morning sunshine
March 22, 2012
I can’t get over how warm it’s been! Even the first sunlight of the day yesterday looks warm, and it makes me happy to see all over my neighborhood.

Familiar scene in New York City
February 29, 2012
For quite some time, this was the view from my apartment window. Normally, walking around NYC you see construction all around, but it was a fun change of pace to watch the progress on ‘eye’ level.
