Student Images – 2026 NYC Workshop
Back to NYC and a little switch with the time of year I held this workshop. Typically, I do this in the fall, but the last couple of times hurricane aftermath has caused quite a bit of rain, so I decided to move it to spring. Seemed to work well, this year, at least. We […]
Juxtaposing Old vs. New in Your Architectural Images
What’s not to love about a good contrast? One of my favorites is combining old and new designs within one frame. There are a number of ways to do this. Let’s dive into a few possibilities. New Reflecting Old Large, contemporary cities are filled with glassy skyscrapers. If the city is old enough, which is […]
Private Photowalk – Chicago (September)
Earlier this week I spent a full day wandering downtown Chicago with someone from Washington D.C. to help him capture the architecture of Chicago. We focused on the Loop and Lakeshore East for the most part. I didn’t shoot a lot but thought I’d share the few images I did make and decided to edit. […]

University of Michigan
Timing worked out well for this little trip… About 3 weeks before I was going to drop my daughter off for a 3-week architecture program at the university one of my art consultants emailed asking for images from here. I hadn’t visited prior to my daughter’s drop-off so it was a great opportunity to shoot […]
Dancing Light – a whimsical way to see light with architecture
Initially, this concept may sound abstract but bear with me for a little while and I’ll try to explain what I mean. I’m sure we’ve all seen the way light hits moving water and seems to dance across the surface, right? Sort-of what I mean… Reflections Well, light can do the same with architecture. You […]
Gilder Center | Studio Gang Architects
Another photo stop I was excited for on my recent NYC trip was the newly designed Gilder Center by Studio Gang Architects. Lots of great curves and texture and I love the organic nature of the space. It kinda reminds me of the Flinstones, don’t you think? Natural history museums aren’t generally my kind of […]
Milwaukee Art Museum | Larry Bell’s Iceberg
It’s been about a year since I last visited one of my favorite buildings – The Milwaukee Art Museum. A photographer I know in Milwaukee was posting some pics of this great art installation in the atrium so I figured I should check that out before it’s gone 🙂 The museum is doing winter installations […]
Using Minimalism/Simplicity In Your Architectural Images
Let’s start with definitions of each since they basically go hand in hand/are synonyms of each other. Minimalism is a style in art, architecture, and theatre that uses the smallest range of materials and colors possible, and only very simple shapes or forms. Simplicity is the state of being simple (free from elaboration), uncomplicated, or uncompounded. So, […]
Columbus, Indiana
This unique city has long been on my photo bucket list. A modernist architecture enclave, this city has designs by some of the most well-known architects of the era – I.M. Pei, Richard Meier, Robert Venturi, Eliel and Eero Saarinen, Harry Weese, among others. Here’s one article explaining a bit more about the history of […]
