Built in 1956 for the H. C. Price Company, the Price Tower is one of only two Frank Lloyd Wright designed high rise buildings still in existance.  At 19 stories the building was designed as a multiple use building with offices, retail and apartments.  Today it is still a multifunction high rise being home to the Price Tower Arts Center, a museum of art, architecture, and design; Inn at Price Tower; Copper Restaurant and Bar, and the Wright Place museum store.

Bartlesville, OK may not be where you would expect to find a building like the Price Tower, much less a masterpiece by famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright.  But what seems like a small Midwestern railroad town is really home to major corporations such as Phillips 66.  And in Bartlesville, the Price Tower does not compete with a crowded skyline.  It is the skyline.

Ten years after 9/11 police and security personnel still get it wrong when it comes to the rights of Americans to use cameras in public places.  Citizens continue to be harassed for using their cameras in completely legal ways in public spaces all under the guise of security.  In response Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Third Rock from the Sun and 500 Days of Summer) collaborated with the Gregory Brothers and the ACLU to make this cartoon that reminds everyone of the rights of photographers.
