MARCH 30, 2008 IDA at Pacific design center

IDA hosted celebrated architecture photographer Jim McHugh, famous for his years photographing celebrities in their homes for covers of "Architectural Digest", for the opening of his enthusiastically-received show "L.A. Skies" during WestWeek at the Pacific Design Center. The photos offer an ethereal look at the city's facades and render the city a romantic dreamscape both bewitching and transporting. Appropriately, McHugh used a Polaroid to capture the city -- a culture-defining product whose imminent discontinuation promises it mythical status itself.
