Absolutely gorgeous photos. Are the performers going to be limited to selections from our favorite Disney films? ;)
This will be a very special place for "shiny, happy" people. I heard he used about 100,000 cans of silver rustoleum for this job. His arm must be dead!
i see you are on the left coast. i was on the "right" coast last weekend.
Stunningly beautiful images, Rion. You've captured the cold blue stainless steel facade perfectly!
I will forever hate you for having beaten me to seeing this (not that I had planned to see it this century or anything). :)
and for a second there I thought you were in Bilbao. ;) —holy carbon copy!
bilbao's definitely on the list, but no, it's LA's version of a gehry. (maybe we should plan a european field trip...)
Nice shots.
Was the light really that perfect??? Amazing. Beautiful photos of one of my favourite buildings
