Public Library Interior

Stockholm Public Library was designed by Gunnar Asplund and finished in 1928. It was his last classicist building before turning to functionalism, and we are indeed standing in its rotunda. While I have time to read about architecture, unfortunately I won't have time to read all the books on these shelves. As I recall, the entire collection includes over 700 000 books.

I've signed up for a photo workshop called "New York at Twilight" at the International Center of Photography next month, and we were given this assignment to be carried out before the class starts:

"Please take 20 to 40 photographs – choose from a variety of subjects – people, self-portraits, your home, a car, cityscape – at twilight, dawn or when it’s completely dark.  Bring 4”x6” prints or JPEGS on a flash drive or CD to class so we can see them.  It’s good to select your best 10-15 photographs to show during the first class."

I'm not sure what I'll end up with for the assignment, but I thought I would include a few post-sunset, twilight views of the NYC skyline. I'll add more to this set as ideas come to me...
