To read Ginger's resume is to understand what it is to have a lust for life. Photography is a small part of a career path that merges Dharma bum with paparazzi, Cordon bleu gourmand with traveler's what-have-you, entrepreneur with artist. Her blog site is replete with images from around the world, and around the city of Los Angeles, which she presently calls home. I "met" Ginger through a professional group on LinkedIn, one of many internet social and professional networks she belongs to. No doubt placing her work, and excerpts of her autobiographical reflections in ragazine.cc, will help extend that continuingly awesome reach.  -- MRF

"Light Raiment"

Architectural lighting on display

Dietrich Neumann, professor of history of art and architecture at Brown University, gave a lecture at Franklin Park, Columbus, Ohio, in October 2008. Neumann explored the history of architectural illumination since the introduction of electric light as a "new building material". His lecture showed both historic and contemporary examples and discussed the theoretical debates that accompanied this development. His lecture began with Victorian glass houses, and concluded with Franklin Park Conservatory’s installation of James Turrell’s Light Raiment in the John F. Wolfe Palm House.

I spoke with Turrell on the evening of the opening of  the Light Raiment show. Turrell said he thought the light display would be even more beautiful if it were photographed in the middles of winter with snow on the ground. On a cold Thursday night in January, I braved sub-zero temperatures (-7°. F) to capture the changing scene. The colors appear in this series in the same order they appear in the show.
