thanks for sharing! so many of the house pics that are in coffee table books & online are “documentary style” and tend not to show daily life at the house-the whole point of a house! It’s nice to see kids playing on the swing, spraying the hose, building forts, and getting snacks in the kitchen. I love seeing the chairs used outside. As much as Charles & Ray loved making films, it seems they were camera shy themselves? The few clips I’ve seen of them are usually fairly formal. The video of Charles driving in the Mercedes is probably the most candid I’ve seen. And the only time I’ve really heard Ray’s voice is the audio of her accepting an award in England. Would love to see/hear more! What a magical moment to get married in that meadow.
fix the audio hippies.
The bad audio means this was an eagerly anticipated video that is unwatchable.
The audio is horrible. Maybe next time record inside the house instead of outside? Dumb a%%es!
0:38 & 3:35
Something is wrong with the audio !
I can barely hear the first speaker...it’s as if she were whispering.
Lovely video showing life in the house after Charles and Ray! Thank you for posting this!
Fascinating to hear about the 250 Year Project. I would love to hear more about future plans, needs and what we can do as a community to help the Foundation in conserving this iconic house. Thank you for all you do!
Great to hear the docents' thoughts about the Eames House & grounds!
