Nice image. That looks just like the James Turrell Skyspace here in Scottsdale. We used photography from our piece on the cover of HFR Issue 35--the last issue I edited. I love that work. It's eerie and strange. :)
Charles: I went to Turrell's exhibit a few years ago at The Henry and it was fantastic. My favorite was this solid blue panel of light high on a wall. You climbed up some stairs to reach it, and when you got there, you discovered it was not a panel of light at all, but a doorway. And when you entered it you were suspended in a room of blue light, where you couldn't really see the walls, the ceiling, the floor. As if you were floating in air. It was freakin' amazing.
I love Turrell's work. I've seen it in Denver and Pittsburgh. Amazing.
