For the three years that I have been shooting seriously, architectural photography has been my greatest passion.

Architecture is both built by and inhabited by (or at least used by) human beings.  Though the shapes and forms are often "unnatural", the human component in architecture is always present if one looks deeply enough.  I love the challenge of finding the humanity in these inert forms.

Often, architecture is one of the best mediums for abstract expression - especially if the camera approaches from a perspective not normally seen as the building's inhabitants go about their daily business.

Even better are the times I find abandoned or lost architectural forms.  If humanity's impact on architecture is a joy to discover, nature's impact is a joy to reveal.
