One of my favorite things to do is go on a house tour - more specifically historic house tours. On what would have been Julius Shulman's 100th birthday, the MAK Center hosted a tour of six private homes that were documented by Shulman at various points during his career. Throughout Julius Shulman's 72 year career, he documented nearly 8,000 modern houses designed by Schindler, Neutra, Sorian, Koening, and lesser known architects. The renewed interest in modern architecture is partially tied to the popularity in Shulman's iconic images.
Here are some of my favorite photographs from the day:
