ARCHITECTURE
Classic designs last for years and make beautiful subjects in their
own right. The ornate craftsmanship on display in historic architecture
can often be overwhelming, so I like to close in, looking for iconic
devices that mark the era and style.
Modern buildings are prime candidates for simplification and abstraction
and much of the enjoyment in photographing recent construction comes
from searching for just the right angle to emphasise line and form.

More images from the city I call home. I spend my weekdays in the CBD
and while travelling to and from work, am often on the lookout
for possible subjects.
