“Sho,” by Jaume Plensa
“Sho” is the new centerpiece of the Meadows Museum Sculpture Plaza. Created by Spanish Artist Jaume Plensa, the work helps to unify the vast (empty) expanse of this plaza. I particularly loved how the head ends up containing it’s background … creating new forms and metaphors as I move around it. Full album here.

Chicago ‘09
Chicago is basically an outdoor museum of architecture … a truly impressive city. Here are 40 pictures from my recent trip all around Michigan Ave/Millennium Park. By the way, I think Chicago does “public art” better than any other city. Above is a picture of Anish Kapoor’s sculpture, the centerpiece of this park.

2009 Christmas Nativity
My family has a tradition of building an elaborate Nativity scene every Thanksgiving. The figures are from the 12″ Fontanini collection along with various improvised landscape constructions. This set of photos contains preparation, finished scenes and details (my favs).
Also, here are a few unrelated pics, taken while at home.

Racing Helmets
I went to a bike dealership with a friend today, and was exposed to the crazy world of biker helmets.
