I love the mid-century design of Arizona's municipal buildings. We really enjoyed having time to go to a couple of museums while we were there, as much for the buildings as for the things in them. The huge scope, and the flat clean lines look so elegant in the heat.
Going through my photos this morning has shown me that I still have so much to learn, especially in this case about light control, so I'm a long way off from creative photography myself, but the trip to see the Lola Álvarez Bravo exhibition gave good inspiration.
The little Rodin thinking guys are from the tramway system, which has had a lot of investment in Phoenix. In the 'art district' section they have miniature sculptures as decoration. We loved this starburst in the entrance hall to the Museum, and in fact the typography / font at both places was as much of a draw as anything.
The last two are small details from the Frank Lloyd Wright Taliesin West centre. Having studied him in evening classes when I was 18, it was wonderful to see it all for real in the baking sun. He always had red doors.
