200 photographs.

I was just thinking that my text-to-photograph ratio had shifted way too far toward the photographic -- a consequence of springtime? -- and then I went here...

Where am I?

... and ended up taking 200 photographs.

It will take me some time to tweak my digital files and upload things, but I plan to make a good Flickr set out of this material. I'll link to it when I'm done...

MORE: Here's the whole set of photos -- weeded down to 57 -- from the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art, which just opened today. The interior architecture -- by Cesar Pelli -- is beautiful, framing infinite enticing compositions.

There's a fabulous rooftop sculpture garden (with a café):

Some marvelous display spaces:

And many nice perspectives on our charming city:

Marghlar: The first photo is taken looking straight up at the ceiling.

Not to throw a wet blanket.....but where's the money coming from? Are these private donations? Or, did the taxpayers pony up?

I always thought the Mid-west was one the last bastions, like Florida, or Nevada....where they don't have income tax.

Guess not.

Peace, Maxine

Maxine: Some very wealthy donors.

Cesar Pelli is one of my favorite architects. Glad to see he's still going strong.

It's a block from the Capitol. You can see the proximity in this shot.

Wickedpinto: Maybe if you turned your head sideways you might be able to fit the concept of these photos in that cramped space.

The Elvehjem is still on campus, but it's been renamed, after a donor. Chazen.

Mine, too. He's a designed a bunch of buildings here in Cleveland that are really nice.
