"Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men's blood."

This is mitchglaser.com

I am a man of great strengths and great weaknesses, full of both ideals and cynicism, always vacillating between the agony and ecstasy of life.  I am like everyone else, and I am like no one else.  I am a man of this world, in this world, and for this world.  I stretch out to embrace this world, to comprehend it, to learn to love it.  I succeed and fail daily.

The purpose of this web site is to express myself to the world.  I intend for it to be a creative outlet, a means to share my life and mind with anyone who wishes to experience it.

Now Open...

  • Paradox Unbound - my online journal
  • All the Malls of Southern California - an online exhibition of photographs taken at 69 shopping malls located in Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties during spring 1999.  These photographs were exhibited at the Planners and Developers Archive Gallery, Ralph and Goldy Lewis Hall, University of Southern California during spring and summer 2000.

Coming Soon...

  • This is Sprawl - an online exhibition of photographs taken on the edges of the Phoenix metropolitan area during the 2003-2004 holiday season.
  • Photographs from my trip to Chicago and rural Wisconsin in July 2004
  • Photographs from my trip to New York City, Philadelphia, and Washington D.C. in May 2005
  • Photographs from my pilgrimages to Woodfield and King of Prussia (2 of the largest malls in the U.S.) and much more mall-related stuff
  • Thoughts on architecture, cities, urban planning, code enforcement, suburbia, the inner city, Los Angeles, Phoenix, and more. (My professional interests)
  • Thoughts on life (everything that is not a professional interest)
  • Things I’ve written (everything from poems and satire to research papers and memoranda)
  • Links to all sorts of things I didn’t think anyone else was interested in (thanks World Wide Web!)

Until Then...
