right side up

There are certain architectural elements that lend themselves to odd, abstract photographs, but in some instances, you must create the abstract image. As I walked around ECC some images just made sense – the concrete ceiling under the elevated walkway and the outdoor metal staircase. But the staircase’s metal railing and marbled look, I knew there was a photo; but as long as it was right side up, it just looked like stairs…

bring a camera

There may only be a couple of weeks each year when the sun lines up perfectly with the doors on this building to create this photo. If the sun is any lower, then the trees just outside the doors will block the rays too. Opportunities like this abound everyday, we just have to pay attention … and bring a camera.

spots of nature

ECC has many locations where plants have been integrated into the buildings; rooftop gardens, between buildings, and even small court yards. As I’ve walked around looking at the architecture, the spots of nature leap out with their beauty and color.
