Southwest Potpourri: A Guest Photo Set by Marty Bloomenthal
Mr. Marty Bloomenthal is an architect who lives and works in central New Jersey. As you will see below his artistic abilities extend beyond designing buildings to shooting landscape photographs. Marty has graciously contributed this photo set to the travelogue. The photos were taken during his recent visit to the American Southwest. He says it was his first visit and that he was "very impressed". Indeed! We thank Marty for sharing these fine photos. Click on any photo to see some really excellent enlargements. (All are under 60k.)
Marty Bloomenthal is Director of Specifications for the architecture firm, The Hillier Group, of Princeton, New Jersey. He tells us his trip was something of a company bonus in recognition of being elected to the College of Fellows of the American Institute of Architects (AIA).
