into focus

Searching for abstract architecture photos is a little more conducive to conversation than many other types of walk-about photography. As we walked along, my daughter and I talked about talents, skills, careers, colleges, and life in general. Being a parent can be stressful and contentious, but a walk through a scenic area with someone who also appreciates the beauty of the man-made world around us can bring it all back into focus.

great imagery

These were the stairs that first drew me in at ECC; they’re on the outside of Building J and perched precariously on the side of the brickwork. The angles, the straights, the bricks, the shadows all combined to create great imagery.
