Architectural Photographs

I don't visit here as often as I should!

Elsha, your photos are so crisp! And you have a great eye for composition.

Ax, I just now saw your photo of .. the inside of a piano, right? What an amazing view.

Thanks Cem, and Jny!

Cem, I'm thinking you should come back to visit DC sometime in the near future. There's always a place for you in my dorm room! It's not very big, but it's there.

I really want to see you again sometime soon! And I would love to see the pictures that you would take downtown.

Jny, thank you.

My dad was a professional photographer before he switched jobs, and I'd like to think that I learned at least a little bit about photography from him. But my pictures couldn't hold a candle to some of the other photographers at the board!! Everyone is so talented.

Elsha has already seen these... as she was there that day, but here are some of my favourite pics from Chicago. (My apologies if I already posted them. I was browsing through my photobucket account and thought they would work here.)

I love the contrast of the plants and the buildings—each their own version of an orderly upward striving.

jny and TH--

Actually, that's the inside of a former shoe factory. Those were ramps from the factory floors to the warehouse floors, down which the shoes slid. It does look as if it should make music, though.

It's now the City Museum. A place that demonstrates why artists shouldn't be allowed to own buildings.

It's been a few years, so I'm going to recycle some of my old NZ pix...

Ax,

you went to Te Papa?

I've already seen Cem's photos elsewhere, but they never stop to amaze me.

This one is my absolute favourite, and if I saw a poster made from it in an art poster shop, I'd definitely want it on my wall:

And Ax's photos make me want to travel to NZ.

Tigg--

'Course I did!

And I was hoping you would wander by and look...can't look at those pix without thinking of you all.

and it's nice to be reminded of our mini 'meet'.

I should break out my own camera, and take some photos, I was down the South Island end October but it was a 'flying visit', still I managed 2 hours at Te Papa while I waited for the ferry sailing

,

and I took but never used my camera, except for a couple of shots at the Salt lakes.

I esp love the "vase' photo, the window on Wellington and' lil red

What building is that, ttbk? (The first three pics, I mean. The others look like they're from a library?)

Post by **TheTennisBallKid** » Thu Nov 23, 2006 3:10 am

They're actually all from the same building...which is a library, as you guessed. The first three are from the newer wing of it....

I suppose this could have gone in the nature pix too. But the lines are less natural and more ordered.
