My eye caught a dark form lying on the river bottom. It took me a few moments to comprehend what I had stumbled upon. Lying peacefully in the shallow waters of the river, only a few meters from shore, was a full-grown cougar. The contrast between the serenity of the scene I was witnessing and what must have played out here in the cougar’s final moments made me shiver. It was the first shiver of many, as I stripped down and waded out into the icy water to get this shot. x

Remember the time when Gordo Cooper piloted a dead spacecraft back to Earth, using only the constellations and his mind? And remember when he not only made it back alive, but achieved the most pinpoint landing to date, despite having no automatic controls?

Well, this week (May 15-16) marks the 50th anniversary of that flight!  Faith 7, or MA-9, launched in 1963 and flew for twenty-two orbits and thirty-flour hours, breaking the American long-duration record. Expect to see some heavy Gordo spam for the next few days.

The Brain by Olson Kundig Architects

The Brain is a 14,280 cubic-foot cinematic laboratory where the client, a filmmaker, can work out ideas. Physically, that neighborhood birthplace of invention, the garage, provides the conceptual model. The form is essentially a cast-in-place concrete box, intended to be a strong yet neutral background that provides complete flexibility to adapt the space at will. Inserted into the box along the north wall is a steel mezzanine. All interior structures are made using raw, hot-rolled steel sheets.
