Goodbye, Julius Shulman

Julius Shulman, architectural photographer whose seductive images sold\nCalifornia Midcentury Modern architecture and its lifestyle around the\nworld, died on July 15 at the age of 98. We celebrate his legacy with\nrecollections from some of the people who knew him -- Dion Neutra,\nCraig Krull, Juergen Nogai, Eric Bricker, Ann Videriksen, Frank Gehry\nand Elizabeth Armstrong -- as well as pithy taped commentary from Shulman\nhimself.

In an online exclusive bonus, KCRW's very own Eric J. Lawrence\ntalks about the best spaces in Los Angeles for free\nsummertime concerts, and Dana Cuff talks about WPA 2.0, a competition\nopen to anyone who wants to offer up an imaginative vision for new\ninfrastructure in our post-industrial age.
