So You Want To Be A Vinyl Toy Designer...

Caltech recently contacted us regarding the purchase of photos that Genshi Media Group founder and photographer Craig Anthony Perkins took of the Cahill Center for Astronomy and Astrophysics at Caltech. The media department at Caltech wanted to use the photos for publicity purposes and for Caltech’s “New Year President’s Message” from Dr. Jean-Lou Chameau… and we happily obliged them.

Cahill Center 01

Originally, Craig had taken the photos because he was intrigued by the building and, after searching online, was disappointed that no one had captured an image that did justice to the extravagant architecture of Cahill Center. It seems Caltech felt the same way; as they were searching online for photos of their own building and stumbled upon Craig’s photos.

Future collaboration between Craig and Caltech have been discussed and results of this collaboration will be posted here when available.

Cahill Center for Astronomy and Astrophysics at Caltech in Pasadena California was designed by Thom Mayne, founder of the architectural firm Morphosis.
