Brutal CMU

These pictures are from the depth of an extremely brutalist CMU building known as Wean hall. It really celebrates raw studded concrete like this building and also this building.

Brutalist architecture is strangely appealing to me; in a dystopian, 'Ministry of Truth' kind of way. I do have a strange fetish for angular geometry and modernist architecture, though.

Please sound off in the comments if i'm getting my architectural styles wrong; Somehow, im not too confident in my ability to separate certain aspects of Modernism, Post-Modernism, international style etc.

Oh, so pictures..

Work Place.

Quick shot of Kyle, Donegal PA.

Donegal

Fall is my favourite season by far. The colors, the cooler weather and im not allergic to everything all the time. So much to love, right?
Donnington Donegal is glorious during the fall and I spent a whole day walking around on the fields, making fires, boating and eating vast amounts of food donated by the wonderful Witter family. They also had a pear tree! im not too fussed about pears but these were fantastic! so crispy and flavourful, and not a sticker with 'imported from jamaica' in sight!! Its so weird how I took eating fresh fruits for granted in SL that the whole act of plucking a pear from a tree and eating it is liberating!

I really have to thank my friend Grace for driving us out there and showing us such a good time! She's a fantastic cook to boot.
Here are a few landscapes; I have others to process and a film roll to get too. So moar picturez soonz plz?

p.s can you tell that im really liking that medium format?




Jon is in this picture can you tell? these medium sized pics suck


I almost flipped a small row boat full of cameras trying to get this picture. I dont even like it that much




it was sunny most of the time, but when i took this it wasnt. Clearly.

Air Force one

Creeping on the air force one. Obama(s) came down to the borderlands for the G20 summit. PIT airport.

Migration

The picture above is from last fall, in park in Lancaster PA. I think its that time of the season when birds start to migrate. Funny enough, while I was at a friends' holiday home in Donegal PA this weekend (more pictures coming) I saw a bunch of these buggers flying to where ever they fly to during this time.





I think these are Geese. Can you eat Geese? I feel like the bigger the bird gets, the less tasty it is (like turkey, yuk).

A storm is brewing

More buildings from philly

Brutal

Its hip to be square(crop), like this guy.

Philladelphia, PA. More building shots to come. yay

The wild things

Was beautiful. I get why some people didnt like it, and I know of a lot of people going in expecting something else. The script was sparse but every single scene was ripe with raw emotion. I loved it.
And the soundtrack was absolutely brilliant.
Oh, Karen O.

Obey

The Warhol is having an exhibit of Shepard Fairey's work from the last decade or so starting tonight, October 16th. Fairey, if you didnt know, was the guy who made the iconic red, white and blue Obama poster.

This picture is from some of the 'street art' he did around Pittsburgh.

On a side note, i found this fantastic interview of the infamous (also genius) graffiti artist, Banksy, by none other than Fairey himself.
Interview

Im going to try to get to the warhol on saturday, hopefully they'll let me take pictures.
