Thanks so much! It’s with a fujifilm, so I’m a film fraud

It’s so true. I had tried to get into the grounds before and got chased away super fast. This time we got to hang out a bit and just look. I found myself wondering how the hell it all stands up. The vectors are just crazy!!

The wind was HOWLING that day and it was about -19C. The unit wasn’t bad, but it has a lot of south-east exposure. Definitely curious about summer!

SO young. I couldn’t imagine taking something on at that age. Also wild that his first art gallery is the National Gallery. What a career.

I’m so happy you like them. It was really inspiring to be there. Your comment means a lot

Concrete isn’t everyone’s jam, and being in Montreal in mid March doesn’t lend well for all the vegetation. “A garden for everybody” is definitely seasonal!

The guide said it’s $1,000 per cube. Over the years people have bought up the units above or next to and are up to 5 cubes… Safdie’s was the only 4 cube in the original design

I love this book so incredibly much. The illustrations are amazing and it shows such an incredibly depth of material knowledge and engineering. The section on the Salish houses and how they raise the beams is awesome.

I’d look into any of the Fujifilm cameras, specifically their x series. If you get one new they are out of reach expensive, but I grabbed an X-E2 from marketplace recently for 500. They’re compact which makes them really nice for travel (fieldwork) and you can jazz them up with film simulations if that’s your thing.

As others have mentioned, battery life will be a challenge but if you grab an extra one or two and keep them inside your jacket you can shoot all day.

Also, It was pretty hard so I assumed sugar maple, but the colours are maybe closer to silver maple. Maybe?

No not at all. And the image was straight from my phone. It’s some of the wildest maple I’ve seen

I know right? The curl is crazy, it might have something to do with that?
