This building houses the Office of Academic Affairs for the university as well as many student life organizations. In its day it was the stables for cereal magnate Will. K. Kellogg's Arrabian horse ranch. The property changed hands several times over the years before being given to the State of California in 1949. The land was deeded to the state with the requirement that the Arabian horse program be maintained. As a result, the university still breeds Arabian horses and they can be seen as one enters the university property along Kellogg Dr. The current stables are located in the Arabian Horse Center on campus.

This picture is a double exposure. I made one exposure just after sunset in order to capture the color in the sky, then I waited for the sky to darken and for the night lights to turn on and made a second two minute exposure to get the building sides lit up. If you look at this image at the largest size, you will see two ghosted ducks near the fountain.

Thanks for your insight, Edward (Ed?). One further question if I may: what would you do if it were up to you, financial concerns aside?

Depends if I was shooting film or digital. I like to approach my film work like I used to do, get it right in camera.
Digitally , well, I use all the tools available at my disposal, although I try and retouch as little as possible. The most I usually do is a bit of blending in skies or lights.

Your photos always have a look to them. Always expertly composed and fantastic tonality. I must be doing something wrong .
