Gamble House Patio
2 Mar, 2001
03/02/2001 - The Gamble House
4 Westmoreland Place ? Pasadena, California
One of the best-preserved examples of American Arts & Crafts architecture in the country, the Gamble House is an amazing example of what southern California must have been like around the beginning of the 20th century. For the extremely well-to-do, anyway.
Greene and Greene's architecture is such a delight to look at that it's easy to overlook the equally magnificent landscaping that was part and parcel of their designs. This is a shot of the patio behind the house. You can see the rear facade of the house at the far left edge of the photo.

Although his father ultimately abandoned textile block construction, Lloyd Wright employed patterned concrete blocks in a number of his own designs.
This is a detail of the cavelike front entrance of the house.

The fortess-like exterior of the Sowden house hides a private courtyard which can be glimpsed very briefly during a party scene in L.A. Confidential

02/18/2001 - Samuel-Novarro House (1928), Lloyd Wright, Architect
5609 Valley Oak Drive
Los Feliz/Hollywood Hills, CA
Built for Louis Samuel and later owned by Ramon Novarro, the Samuel-Novarro house is sometimes mistakenly attributed to Frank Lloyd Wright™, Senior.
Lloyd Wright (Frank Lloyd Wright, Jr.) built a successful practice in Los Angeles after coming here to supervise his father's few Los Angeles projects in the 1920's.

Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum
9 Feb, 2001
02/09/2001 - Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, 1959. Frank Lloyd Wright™, Architect.
1071 5th Avenue (at 89th Street), New York, NY
My brief visit to the Guggenheim museum was a fitting end to my first trip to New York City; I didn't get to view any of the museum collections, but seeing the building itself was the real reason I went in the first place.

Stan Lee Media Break Room
Until I find the original, the date is an approximation.
This was about three months or so before everyone in the company was laid off thanks to the fiduciary malfeasance of Stan's cofounder and one of the VPs.
Many thanks to Ryan for giving me back a copy of my own photo, for I am too lazy to dig through my own archives for it.

BMW 328i at the Gamble House
15 Nov, 1999
An unused photo from my days as an Edmund's staffer; one of the perks of the job at the time was participation in the long-term road test program. In late 1999, the test fleet happened to include a BMW 328i sedan.
