Millard Sheets Studio In 8mm

This is a short video montage I made of Millard Sheets studio here in Claremont, which is now an optometry office. Built in 1958 and was recently landscaped by architect Domingo Paglia. Beautiful building and grounds. Music by Charles Mingus track called Goodbye Pork Pie Hat appears on album Mingus Ah Um. One of my favorite jazz tunes for sure…

The Benjamin House, Fred McDowell A.I.A

This house that was built for the parent’s of Karl Banjamin, by Karl’s good friend and architect Fred McDowell. Located in Santa Barbara, California. This house was built  3 years after Karl’s house was built here in Claremont, somewhere around 1959. Beautiful house built around some massive oak trees. Karl’s paintings really compliment this style of architecture.
