This is a popular place to photograph I see. If I remember correctly, this is the back side of the hall near the east end of the terrace garden. Pretty nice shot!

If I were a skateboarder I'd want to session the hell out of that.

i'm so enamored of this one: the aspect ratio, that you've preserved the chrome feel without noisy gloss, peaks yielding to sleek glides. this image visualizes the way i experience music.

This photo is pure architectural lovliness. It seems to represent pure balance. It has fluidity and movement, that keeps my eye dancing around the contours metallic shimmering buliding. This image also has wave like elements...If it was possible to surf on a building- this would be just the place! Where did you find this futuristic marvel?

Hey - 'my soleil' said it - first thing I thought to myself was "Ride the Wave" ! :o)

Fabulous feeling in this dm - all curves are sexy it seems !

(nb - for some reason the thumbnail reminded me of an old toy sailboat I used to have !)

darkmatter says:

thank-you all for your comments!

yes, this is my obligatory gehry tribute. this must be one of the most photographed buildings on flickr, but you can't visit downtown LA with a camera and not stop here. i was pickup up a passport nearby and hadn't made the pilgrimage yet.

chris - not too many sharp edges?

jen - i'm sure gehry had music in mind, but i wonder what kind.

adrian - here's to hms runacres ;-)

Gehry is genius to enable this.
Thanks for the different take on his work.
The framing and quality of light seem perfect for the subject.

Frank Gehry is always intriguing - great shot.

I just saw three things which seem somehow relevant and I thought you might find interesting too:
this, that & the other

darkmatter says:

thanks amenon. fascinating links (although 1st and 2nd are the same). i'd be interested to know how they were created, especially if there's some connection with darkmatter ;-)
Posted 5 weeks ago. ( permalink )

Amenon says:

Oops... got my hyperlinks in a twist... fixed that :-)

Rats - I was hopng you'd tell me those videos had some cool representation of dark matter woven into them... but maybe the artist just chose the name because the vids have dark patches and sounds cool. Whatever he used must have some pretty powerful graphics processor on board.

darkmatter says:

They might be based on similar mathematics, but that's a long shot. The rendering wouldn't have to be real time so the processing requirements aren't too heavy.
