Once people walked on these floors and these stairs. Now they are no more.

I like cities, I like buildings, but I liked this particular street a little bit more at an angle.

The Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza. A shot that has been taken many times before, but when in Rome, er Mexico, you do what you gotta do.

This wide angle shot makes it feel as if the scene is slowly slipping away, all the way to the Capitol in the distance.

The Ray and Maria Stata Center at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. I was in the area and knew I had to photograph this building. The challenge with anything that is well photographed is to do something different. I’m probably not the only person to take this angle, but I wanted to focus on looking up at this crazy building, and made a jagged overhang the foreground of the shot.

There is lots of available office space. I found this excellent example of a brand new and never occupied building. The lines of it are modern and sharp, so it did serve my purposes of creating an image on this overcast day.

Detroit Central Station has some great architectural details, and probably some great bones, but there are many areas of the building that could use some work. Take a minute and focus on some of the beautiful features instead of the aspects that are less than perfect.

Appropriate words written on the top of Detroit Central Station. This old train station has a long history, but now it is fenced off and abandoned. There are those that want it demolished, and those that want it saved. I can only imagine what this looked like it its day as a thriving station, but now we can only see the beauty in decay.

I happened to be at Harvard on a clear night with a full moon. What a sight the beautiful campus was under the clear skies!

Old South Meeting House in Boston. One of the great things about Boston is its history, like this old hall. There is also a lot of new architecture too, and there is no separating them.
