Time marches on

There's a little amphitheater behind the music building at Mills College. If you look at the work of Imogen Cunningham you'll see it occasionally (see this one as an example).

This is just from my little point and shoot. They're not really using it now - it's pretty messy but nothing a pressure washer couldn't fix. But the thing that amuses me? The safety rail. I wonder when they added it and if it was in response to somebody actually slipping or if they were just being paranoid. It's not a very strong looking rail, and I'm guessing most people don't use the stairs much anyway. They've also painted that wall in the front (not pictured in my shot) bright white and it looks kind of strange versus the concrete - you don't really get the same effect in the wider angle shots.

In other news, I have three model shoots scheduled in March. I had four but it's looking like I'm going to have to reschedule one to April. Unfortunately the one that was rescheduled as the first one so it will be a couple of weeks. Which is also probably when I'll get the test copy of my book and if the quality is fine I'll do things like post the cover and pricing and so forth.
