Very nice! And after the tour, who got dropped off first?

My rigidly held beliefs got dropped off first. I feel so much lighter.

Interesting pics and I loved how you discovered the city through the lens of architecture :)

I love the way you describe why you have been drawn to architectural photography. It sums up how I feel.

Nice, and I especially like the crane image and the bridge scene. For different reasons. The crane is unusual, the way the shapes combine to make the overall composition, where I go back and forth between soft-focusing my eyes and examining details closely. The bridge scene is, on the other hand, beautifully sculpted and soothing with the motion of the water. Raw vs refined, when I think of them generating distinct emotional reactions (in me).

Some beautiful images Alex. I really liked the bridge with star lights.

It reminds me I was once randomly photographing around Brussels and something caught my attention near the tops of the three to four story buildings on this street. I stood there snapping a few photos when a man approached me with a look like a light bulb had just appeared above his head. He told me has walked on this street every day for years and years, but never looked up in this spot before. He followed my line of site and explained how where I was photographing, there is a gap between two buildings that he had never seen or noticed. A seemingly small thing seemed to blow his mind as if to bring some novelty in his otherwise mundane commute.

Thanks for your comment, Jason. Yeah, that’s what the camera is for, to capture things that cannot be seen with the naked eye.
