Figure 4–6: Los Cerritos Mall Corridor
This is one of many shopping mall images I made for my most important commercial architectural client (Burke, Kober, Nikolai and Archuleta; later Charles Kober Associates) in 1972. I was attracted to the graceful curve in the ceiling of the mall corridor with its recessed lighting.
Figure 4–7: Sierra Wave Cloud
The day after I photographed Basin Mountain, Approaching Storm (figure 2–15) from the town of Bishop, California, before the start of a weekend Sierra Club workshop, we had to leave town because of blowing rain and snow. Sixty miles south in the Alabama Hills we were treated to lenticular clouds undulating overhead, east of the highest peaks of the range. I made three successive photographs, stopping after the third because the shape was so pleasing to me.
Several years later I realized that I had effectively duplicated the composition I made a year earlier in the Los Cerritos Mall—one of a man-made subject, the other drawn entirely from nature. Those forms still strike me as pleasing. Perhaps it’s part of my DNA. Perhaps we’re all drawn to similar forms time after time. To this day, the cloud in this image remains the most awesome one I’ve ever seen, closely followed by the one in figure 6–2, Lenticular Cloud Over Duck Lake.
