A lot of work to get done, both at work and at home… so I wasted a bit of time playing around with some old HDR images of a caterpillar (Monarch Butterfly) I found on my backup drive.
HDR Caterpillar - cropped this one.
Caterpillar - not so much HDR strangeness.
Another HDR picture of the “Walking Tall” version of the “Travelling Man” series of sculptures down in Deep Ellum here in Dallas.
I had a little accident taking these photos. One of his feet is on a bit of an elevated platform – it looks like a green disk. Do you see it?
I didn’t.
Stepped off and backwards – did protect my camera, though, as I tumbled into some gravel.
You can see one of the new DART stations across the street. I should have waited until a train was going by. Sometime, I’ll go do that.
My favorite bit of architecture that has risen during the orgy of recent construction in the Dallas Arts District is the Dee and Charles Wyly Theater. Designed by OMA architect Rem Koolhaus and REX, the building doesn’t look like a theater, it looks like a Borg Cube.
I took this HDR photograph of children playing in the shallow reflecting pool that connects the Wyly Theater with the Winspear Opera House.
When you’re stuck in Downtown Dallas, waiting for your train, there’s nothing better to pass the time than to pull out your old guitar and strum a few bars.
This is The Travelling Man – I have a few more HDR pictures I took of him, I’ll stick them up now and again.
