My Photograph Mies at Night  was made in S. R. Crown Hall, which was designed by the German-American Modernist architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and is the home of the College of Architecture at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago, Illinois. The play of the warm interior light with the shadows of outdoor plants reminded me of traditional shoji screens from Japanese architecture or of a theatrical background in front of which we can place our own actors transcribing any scene our imaginations may insert. Not a blank canvas, but rather an emotionally charged, luminous, colorful, and organic place from which to dream.
