Apple post Steve.
Here’s AAPL since Steve died and the guy with the personality of a hammer took over:
Landscapes of the West.
There’s a fine biography of Morley Baer (1916-1995) in Wikipedia. Baer was a WW2 Navy combat photographer who turned to architectural and landscape photography. His architectural work is more severe than that of the California master, Julius Shulman and his fine landscape work shows none of the tasteless over processing beloved by Ansel Adams and his three billion copyists. I can promise you there are no images of White Birches in this book.
I purchased Light Years, a large format (12″ x 12.5″) book of his images, well printed, for $50 from the publisher, Photography West Graphics in their retail store in Carmel – the price listed on their web site is incorrect.
Art Moderne in SF.
You can read about the Rincon Building, bounded by Mission, Howard, Spear, and Steuart Streets near the Embarcadero in San Francisco, here. Completed in 1940, the original building was a US post office (a high rise tower has been added since) and has a raft of Depression era murals in the historic lobby, together with many displays of the history of San Francisco. The quality of the finishes, the stone and inlay work approaches that of the Rockefeller Center in New York, albeit on a far smaller scale.
A must see for those into period architecture.
Snapped in December 2013 on the Panasonic GX7 with the 17mm Zuiko for all but the fourth, which was taken on the Panny G1 with the kit zoom a couple of years ago.
Swedish Impressionist.
The show is on for another month. Zorn had business sense denied the Impressionists, and had a way of handling water which is out of this world.
Recommended.
