So you watch the Daily Show, too (and may again some day).

I love Gehry’s work, although I can’t understand how anyone can afford to build them. I’ve wandered around the Experience Music Project in Seattle and Disney Hall in LA (got to be the most interesting symphony hall in the country). My blog icon picture is a self-portrait at the Satta Center on the MIT campus in Cambridge (which I hear is partly falling apart, leading to litigation between the university and Gehry’s firm).

So what did you shoot this picture into? My guess is a convex security mirror. The edge of the circle doesn’t look sharp enough to be some Photoshop trickery.

Whats interesting is that the fisheye which does some really weird things to normal buildings doesnt do anything particularly weird on this building (because its such a weird building already)

Ah, one of my favorite buildings and architect. Even if one of his buildings is having problems, I continue to love his designs. And, I love your unusual photograph. Thanks, Mitch. I know it’s just for me ;>)!!

It’s a mondo fisheye converter, crappy glass (you noticed the chromatic abboration on the edges).
