From the Archives

Architecture is one of those subjects that I enjoy, but don't understand.  I often take photos of the inside and outside of buildings, and I like them, but it's difficult for me to figure out why I like the pictures.  Buildings have lines and shapes that make them interesting, with symmetrical and asymmetrical aspects that change with our differing perspective, depending on where we're standing.  Buildings can be appreciated in reality and in pictures, but often in pictures we isolate certain elements of interest, and we can eliminate the context that is the surrounding area.
