We had a grand time shooting the gala opening for The Birth of Cool exhibit at the Oakland Museum. We set up a greenscreen photo station to recreate the above Julius Shulman image, “Case Study House #21”. The original 1958 image (left) features Pierre Koenig, the architect of the house, standing at the stereo. While poking around the web, I found some images of the same house, that Shulman returned to shoot fifty years later when it was up for sale in 2006. Cool indeed… check those out here.
