Black and White Photo of the Walkway In Front of the Imperial Bank


In front of the Arts and Theater District in Costa Mesa is the Imperial Bank Building. The walkway in front of the building is made of these stainless-steel columns that have a light at the bottom.

She belonged to the car and the car belonged to her, and neither of them was in any hurry to change. If you know Auckland, that particular corner will register: Queen Stree...

Three Hearts in Shadow — A Sepia Fine Art Photograph from Hollyhock House

Three Hearts in Shadow — Hollyhock House, Los Angeles. © John Corney Some photographs surprise you by turning out to be about something quite different from what you thought you were photographing. This is one of those. The Afternoon at Hollyhock House I was visiting Frank Lloyd Wright's Hollyhock House in East Hollywood on a bright, still afternoon in 2017, camera in hand, doing what most visitors do — trying to capture the extraordinary modernist geometry of the building itself. Hollyhock House was Wright's first Los Angeles commission, built between 1919 and 1921 for the oil heiress and arts patron Aline Barnsdall on Olive Hill, the site now known as Barnsdall Art Park. It's a genuinely important building — the first UNESCO World Heritage Site in Los Angeles, inscribed in 2019 as part of "The 20th-Century Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright" — and it has that instantly r...
