And they said you couldn’t take a good picture on a crappy gray day. I was out shooting Sunday with Bob and went to an old classic, the Weisman Museum. This Frank Gehry masterpiece is snugged up on the edge of the UM campus and overlooks the 35W Bridge collapse site. This building is beautiful on a blue sunny day and glares like a frozen lake. Bob and I were there on a completely overcast day and I wasn’t sure what I would get. If you check out Bob’s picture, you can see what that day really looked like. I abused Lightroom to get the color and texture into this image.
I’m getting sufficiently jealous of all the other bloggers’ twilight shots of downtown from the pedestrian bridge over 35W, so I hope to get out and try it this evening.

When I saw the thumbnail of this on DCPB portal, I instantly knew it was Gehry. Very reminiscent of his building on the Case Western Campus!
Very cool pic. Reminds me of Star Wars with the stain washed metal.
Somebody has a birthday on the 23rd! Happy Birthday if I don’t get a chance to see you.
I love Gehry’s work. This museum reflects light beautifully; I often view it from across the river at different times of the day just to take pleasure in watching the changes that the sun casts on its facade.
