SEASHELLS
It is with awe and a deep sense of wonder that I gaze upon and photograph these marvels of nature known as seashells.
I truly wish that Louis Kahn, the renowned architect for whom I photographed, was alive so that I could hear his observations on these remarkable structures, born of the creatures who inhabit them.
It was for the inhabitants of his buildings that Kahn was most concerned, even though the beauty of their exteriors was equally expressed. The phrase,’form following function’ certainly applied. However magnificent his buildings were, I’m sure he would have agreed with me that nothing man made could have equaled the magnificently jeweled structures, colors, and shapes of the domiciles called Seashells.
Architectural and sculptural metaphors certainly apply. Frank Lloyd Wright walked into a seashell, looked up, and the genesis of New York’s Guggenheim Museum was formed.
