Description of Subject Matter: Trusteeship Council Chamber

Finn Juhl was just thirty-eight years old when he was commissioned to design the Council Chamber, which stands today as one of his major works. The chamber was designed to form a comprehensive whole. This means that Finn Juhl designed everything in it, from the colorful ceiling light-fittings and the curtains to the wall paneling, carpeting, lamps and chairs.

In the delegates' portion the walls are lined with ash wood designed to act as acoustic baffles. The multicolored striped carpet was made in Denmark as were the curtains, railings doors and latticed ceiling which repeats the fine woods and the light, clear colors used. A large wooden statue carved from the trunk of a teakwood tree also was donated by the Danish Government. Selected as part of a competition, the sculpture created by Henry Starcke shows a young woman dressed in a patterned robe with arms upraised towards a large blue bird with outstretched wings. It was carved especially for the Trusteeship Council Chamber.

2002 photos: This was the year I started the photo web site. It started to come together in August 2002, mostly as a way of allowing me to keep track of the pictures I was taking. It took awhile to add some basic bells and whistles (logging didn't get added until November) but it's been pretty much like it started out since then. Archaic but working, and free! Trips this year: Two weeks out west, one week in New York, and one week down south. Image quality isn't going to be very good for the first half of this year because these are scans of prints. Equipment this year: I took the plunge and bought my first digital camera. It was August 2002 and I bought an Epson PhotoPC 3100Z. While a nice camera, it had some quirks and bumping it would result in it being totally out of focus until you manually shut it down -- something which blurred almost every picture I took in New York City one day.
