A “universally despised” postmodern public square in Los Angeles is getting a second look this week with the addition of a surreal glittering silver cloud that undulates in the air above the concrete, seemingly floating without any supports. Tethered from a 10-story purple bell tower to a lower corner of the park, the latticework installation is made of thousands of holographic mylar strips that flutter in the breeze. The work is a collaboration between patrick Shearn of Poetic Kinetics and the AA Visiting School of Los Angeles, a week-long design program for art students.

What an amazing sight in Pershing Square!!

Due for a makeover in 2019 that will replace much of the concrete with grass and create shade canopies, Pershing Square tends to be empty and quiet despite renewed vitality in other areas of downtown L.A. It’s one of the city’s oldest public spaces, but had its trees and grass ripped out in 1951 so a parking garage could be installed beneath it.

Poetic Kinetics is known for creating many of the massive, colorful creations that appear at Burning Man each year. Sharon says he was inspired by nature and “the feeling that we are only aware on a very surface level of what is really going on around us. We feel the currents of air on our skin but do not see the larger movements.”

Find yourself beneath a new installation, "Liquid Shard" by @aavsla and @poetickinetics, up and flowing now at Pershing Square. (?: @coleoptera.bijoux) #dtla #historiccore

The Los Angeles Times captured 360-degree views of the installation, which billows like a school of fish when it catches the wind just right. Measuring 15,000 square feet, ‘Liquid Shard’ will remain in place through August 11th, so stop by and experience it in person if you can.

Walt Disney Concert Hall, Los Angeles

Image by Creativity+ Timothy K Hamilton
This is the Walt Disney Concert Hall. Designed by architect Frank Gehry, Walt Disney Concert Hall, new home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, is designed to be one of the most acoustically sophisticated concert halls in the world, providing both visual and aural intimacy for an unparalleled musical experience.Through the vision and generosity of Lillian Disney, the Disney family, and many other individual and corporate donors, the city will enjoy one of the finest concert halls in the world, as well as an internationally recognized architectural landmark.From the stainless steel curves of its striking exterior to the state-of-the-art acoustics of the hardwood-paneled main auditorium, the 3.6-acre complex embodies the unique energy and creative spirit of the city of Los Angeles and its orchestra.
I tried to keep just the building and sky in the photo to maintain some of the abstract quality of the architecture. This is a five-shot HDR (high dynamic range) photograph. I used HDR because of the bright shine of the building, which made it impossible to get the full range of light and dark without "blowing out" highlights. It’s not in perfect alignment, because the shots were hand-held. I made a choice not to bring along a tripod on the trip out of consideration for my wife, Grace. She puts up with enough stopping and waiting for me to take photos as it is. And does so graciously.

New Fashion Photography Workshop! April in Los Angeles

25 Mar

After a year and half break, I’ve decided to hold another workshop. I’m going to be in Los Angeles during the middle of April so I thought it might be nice to hold a workshop while I’m there. This time, I’ve partnered with Box8 Studios in downtown LA and I’m really excited about this because the space is amazing! The workshop will have the same format, Saturday is a heavy shooting day, Sunday will be about fashion retouching and business. I won’t get into the details here in this post but you can read all about it here and sign up for it if you want! Space is limited and I know it’s almost a month away but I’m really looking forward to meeting those who decide to attend! See you in Los Angeles, homies!
