I started venturing in rock photography, I did lots of parties, portrait work, including two weddings, engagement photos and of course my end of the year x-mas parties that feature way too many funny children.

dominant and symmetrical in form, the dwelling features two distinctly different facades, altering the overall perception of space and dimensionality. the street side facade, solid and impermeable in its massing refers to its position and immediate context, a busy and noisy environment full of car and pedestrian traffic. smooth and minimal in its expression, the surface aims to conceal any evidence of life and activity taking place within the home. on the opposite side of the structure, a complex set of shapes and openings develop a drastically different sense of space. a collection of terraces extend from each void, integrating the minimal interior rooms with the exterior environment.

Megan Kukull: Featured Nine 8x12 Pop Photo Montage"The Last of the Finest, Signs on T-town".
Vintage and retro signs in Tacoma, Washington are truly some of the last of the finest, the signs explore nostalgia, social themes, and are sought over by may collectors. In my pieces I incorporated hidden Art Nouveau film and Old Americana Film themes by using collage techniques. I used saturation of color to create a surreal or obscene image of the signs. By combining this imagery I was able to show the signs' relationship to society and explore the new world images of POP art and the importance of iconic graphic symbols in society.

The movie had me so inspired by the modern architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright and all of the other amazing architects that started the Modernism movement on the West Coast. Using natural light and the environment to create living space is something that unites perception and understanding for the buildings and their place in the landscape. It reinforced how much I love taking photos of homes and spaces.
Julius Shulman obituary: The obituary of photographer Julius Shulman in the July 17 Section A said that his image of Case Study House #22 first appeared in the Sunday Pictorial section of the Los Angeles Herald Examiner two months after it was taken on May 9, 1960. The Sunday Pictorial was a feature of the Los Angeles Examiner newspaper, which merged with the Herald Express in 1962. However, according to the Getty Research Institute, where Shulman's archives are kept, the photo first appeared in the June 1960 issue of Arts & Architecture magazine.
