Design Work Life: Cataloging Inspiration Daily

While in San Francisco, we took the req­ui­site tour of Alcatraz. I actu­ally wasn’t really that into it ini­tially, but it turned out to be pretty amaz­ing. Aside from the his­tory of it all, I was really impressed by the archi­tec­ture on the island. I didn’t really know much about Alcatraz before vis­it­ing, so I was unaware that the island involved any­thing more than the prison struc­ture. I, of course, soon found out there was much more to it than that. And as we explored all that was there, I noticed how the weath­ered and decay­ing build­ings lent them­selves to some really amaz­ing tex­tures. So aside from the cool scenery and prison details, I found myself tak­ing a ton of pic­tures of the tex­tures I noticed, fig­ur­ing they could come in handy later. If there’s any inter­est, I’ll post these images for down­load at their full size. Just leave a comment.
