I see you bloom in this sun that we have shaped

I have always had an appreciation for beautifully constructed spaces, but lately I have had a greater awareness of architecture and its intangible relationship with our lives. I think it may very well have to do with living in New York City, the architecture {obviously} envelops you, becoming your landscape; Something that is so drastically different from growing up in one of the most naturally inspiring environments, California.
   I stumbled across this amazing documentary on Julius Shulman. It is not only a touching portrait of a man that shaped the way we view architecture, but the story of Southern California's own architectural heritage. I have always dreamed of owning a mid-century home in LA or Palm Springs, and now realize this dream was partly constructed out of Shulman's photographs.
   I had the luxury of being able to work closely this past spring in some of Schindler's homes, and can't even begin to illustrate their beauty. For that I'll leave it to Mr. Shulman, who does an incredible job in this film. A must see...
