    About the Book

    Edit

    Architecture and Photography have been life-long passions from an early age. One has certainly informed the other over the course and geography of my career. While maintaining my current architectural studio for the past 25 years in south Florida, I have always maintained a keen passion for my photography.

    My photography is about abstracting a portion of a larger entity, such as a building, and by removing some or all of its context, and then striving to make this portion become a new entity. And in this selective visioning I aim to infuse a certain kinetic energy into the composition.

    With Architecture as the palette upon which I paint my photographs, light becomes the paint brush giving the photograph its life; with shade and shadow, lightness and darkness, contrast, repetition, color, geometry and pattern as the features which I aim to infuse into my photography.

    At Central High in Philadelphia I had an inspiring English professor - Dr. Gerald Hamm - who would have the class initially write a one page essay Then we would summarize that page into one paragraph. And then the assignment would be to summarize that paragraph into a single sentence. Finally that sentence was to be summarized with a single word. This is what I strive towards in my photography.
