Mimi Zeiger profiles artist/photographer Janna Ireland, who has spent the last two years photographing the buildings of Paul R. Williams as a way to preserve his architectural legacy.
“It has all of this psychological depth ... [Ireland's photos] don’t simply document the architectural quality of the building but capture the thought that went into making it,” Barbara Bestor says in the article in describing Ireland's work. Last December, the Julius Shulman Institute presented Ireland's photography in the exhibition, “There is Only One Paul R Williams: A Portrait by Janna Ireland”.
