This is a beautiful architectural building Reykavik Iceland. I loved the modern glass honeycomb design…. It would be great to experience a performance inside this building. I’ve had a chance to walk around the outside of it twice… I can only imagine how great it is on the inside.
Harpa Concert Hall
This is a very cool spot. This concert and conference venue was opened in 2011. It sits on the harbor in downtown Reykjavik, Iceland. The unique shapes of the glass panels are supposed to be inspired by the basalt landscape of the country.
Phoenix Center
Last fall while I was in Michigan, I spent an afternoon with an old friend photographing some spots around Pontiac. We hit up this spot, which is an abandoned concert venue. Although you’d never know this spot hasn’t been used for years. Someone is paying good money to keep in in great shape even though it isn’t in use. It looked like they could hold a rock concert the next day….. So it isn’t your normal grungy looking abandoned location. But it was cool exploring this spot.

Harpa Concert Hall and Conference Centre II
I posted another picture of this Reykjavik Iceland building from a different angle in the past. I loved the look of this amazing structure so much; I went back to the archives to post another picture of it for you.

Harpa Concert Hall And Conference Centre
This is a beautiful concert hall in the harbor of Reykjavik Iceland. It held it’s opening concert in May 2011 and is home to both the Iceland Symphony Orchestra and The Icelandic Opera.
I took this picture at about 1am in the morning when the sun was still setting in the harbor. It was a perfect blue hour, except the blue hour lasted about 6 hours…because the sun doesn’t ever set during the summer in Iceland. It’s an amazing example of beautiful modern architecture put in perfect place to make the entire project wonderful. When you see it, you can’t help but be drawn towards it.
Carnegie Music Hall 2nd Floor Lobby
I got a great opportunity last spring to shoot the inside of Carnegie Music Hall in the Oakland area of Pittsburgh. Following that photo shoot, I posted (prior to starting this blog) a number of pictures that you can see here:
Last night I was looking through some old shots and came across tonight’s post. I had forgotten about it and realized how much I liked this picture. I hope you like it as much as I do.
This was a 3-bracket set (+1, 0, -1) taken in the corner of the hallway looking down both directions. They had some junk in the way down one direction, so I removed it with Photoshop. Otherwise, this is how this wonderful facility looks.
