Personal Stuff

 

These are my more personal projects and photos. Feel free to look around.

I grew up in the back of a 1972 green Buick Riviera, so I got a lot of exposure to different places and environments and accents, and have a soft spot in my heart (or head) for American motels -- although they were typically built to last seven years, for tax reasons, and almost all vanished.

Then it was adolescence and high school in a resort community with outlandish 70's architecture that had its effect on me, I'm pretty sure. Another set of vanished values and spaces.

The Manhattan Dome project is included here (a/o/t the top page) because it's a low priority. Maybe someday. You know how Lenny Bruce started with stand-up comedy and became obsessed with the unfairness of the law? Bucky Fuller started with efficient house-and-car engineering and became obsessed with the unfairness of consumer capitalism, that's the most tragic and interesting thing about him, I think.

If you have something to say, or argue about, email me at feedback (a t) waltlockley.com.
