This is the conservation and pre-assembly of the Gilead Room from the Young’s family house, from Gilead, Connecticut. Photographed this for a future published story on the West Campus complex. I’ll hopefully have more on that later this spring/summer.

The Art Gallery art handlers had just recently put all the main pieces together and removed cardboard that had been protecting the floor boards. You can see all the parts pre-assembly here (scroll down some, not my image so come back). The framed in room will be taken apart after some more conservation and reinstalled at the Yale Art Gallery in a year or two. The open wall sections and ceiling will be plastered in once reinstalled. Cool!

I photographed this back in the spring, but was bumped from the summer issue for space. Posted is a webgallery of all 19 Kroon Hall images made for the Yale Alumni magazine. http://www.arch-clig.com/kroonhall/

Having fun.
Finally photographing some some projects for David Thompson Architects. I think I met David at least three years ago, maybe four. Well my daughter is almost three and there weren’t any babies then so… Anyway, I’m in the field for the Barnard Environmental Magnet School. Also photographed two other sites. One of which was inside the Yale Leitner Planetarium, which is below.

Photographed inside and out. Here are a couple site views. I’ll post some finished views in a day or two and I’m sure they will appear in the portfolio area here as well. Thanks to Dominic of the facilities staff (a green building takes more effort to keep lights on at night!) and David DeFusco for letting in one more photographer!
