This is the same stairwell as Day 26. This is Louis Kahn's last masterpiece, showing the motif on the ceiling at the top of the stairs. Just as he extended the triangle to the roof in the Yale Art Gallery, here he extends the idea of the square, though in a somewhat surprising manner. When...

(Oops... uploaded this initally to my own gallery) Yesterday I presented the interior of the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library. This is a photograph of the exterior of the Beinecke as seen from Commons. The photograph is an extension of the idea I have been pursuing wherein the...

Well, I've done quite a few gothic interiors and portals; I will return to those shortly, but here is some modern architecture. On Day 1 I showed the exterior of the Malone Center. I mentioned in the description that the "front" of the building "features a sweeping glass...

Linsly-Chittenden Hall was originally two separate buildings that served as annexes for the old University Library (then located in Dwight Hall). Today, Linsly is a recitation hall and faculty office building for the English Department and Chittenden is a classroom building. Chittenden Hall...

Continuing the theme of Gothic portals apparently... this is taken inside the Trumbull College Master's House gate. Trumbull College is one of twelve undergraduate residential colleges of Yale University. The college is named for Jonathan Trumbull, the last governor of the Colony of...

This photo is from Sterling Memorial Library, on the first floor, in a section called "Cloisters." The Cloisters is a long hallway lined with these windows, and you can see that it goes off to the left here. This is from a hallway off of Cloisters that leads to the Irving S. Gilmore...

David S. Ingalls Rink shot at twilight tonight. Designed by architect Eero Saarinen and built between 1953 and 1958 for Yale University, it is commonly referred to as The Whale due to its appearance. The building was constructed for $1.5 million, which was double its original cost estimate...

Continuing the sacred theme... I've tried this shot several times. Neither my Pentax K10D nor the K-x I briefly owned rendered acceptable results. Yet my E-PL3 made quick work of this. I would like to have captured the whole door, but this perspective is taken from a very narrow alley...

The students are not around this week at Yale, so I thought I'd grab this opportunity to shoot interiors this week. Besides it is pretty cold and it's nice to settle into this kind of contemplative shooting indoors. This is Dwight Memorial Chapel, Yale University, Old Campus. Originally...

This is a walkway outside of Kroon Hall, home of the Yale University Forestry Department. Locally-based Centerbrook Architects & Planners acted as the Executive Architects in collaboration with Design Architects, Hopkins Architects of London and an all-star team of consultants. The building...

I mistakenly added this to my personal gallery instead of SIJ; this is my entry for January 2. Continuing the theme of architecture generally, and further the idea of showing two buildings in one photograph, this is a shot of Sterling Tower from outside the Rotunda of Woolsey Hall. Woolsey...

A bit of an introduction. A year ago I shot a series of architectural studies at Yale University. In the interim I have happened upon Mu 4/3 and have decided to try to recreate a similar set of studies in this format. This is to satisfy a desire to learn these cameras and format as well as to...
