Man vs Machine

Man Vs. Machine

Winter is not quite here but you know this is coming.   The time when we will have to lookout for sliding vehicles and slippery ground, specially when our paths cross like you see in the image.

I shot this looking out our condo window and was struck by the simple pattern of “crossed paths”.

Would you like a great animated national weather view then click here.

UT College of Pharmacy

By gkessel51 | Published December 4, 2011

This is a view of the atrium lobby space at the new University of Tennessee College of Pharmacy on Madison avenue in downtown Memphis, Tn.  The college was designed by the joint venture of  brg3s and EFTC and built by Inman-EMJ, all of Memphis.  It  creates an open airy volume while providing  visually connected yet private areas at the same time.

I enjoyed seeing the display of old wooden mortar and pestles  as well.  They are in the glass case in the wall on the left.  You can zoom in and see them in more detail by clicking on the image, which will open a separate viewer.

Day 1

By gkessel51 | Published November 30, 2011

I have been sort of wandering in my interest and efforts lately.  I need to focus and I am thinking that making myself sit down at this blog everyday may help that.  I have no idea at this point what shape it will take and can only imagine the variety of posts that will show up.  If you intend to follow it, please have patience as I evolve, since writing is typically a painful process for me.  It will feel like I am working in the boiler room at Sears Crosstown which I was lucky enough to shoot recently. (shown below, more to come)

You can view more of my commissioned architectural work by clicking HERE and other more recent work on request.

I have also posted a photo of my “review committee” who is keeping their eyes on me …….. specially that creepy guy second from left.
