Here are some pics in honor of my trip next week to Italy. My two favorite cities are Florence and Venice, so here they are. I particularly love the duomo, the bell tower, and the bridges in Florence. Lastly, the fog in Venice is amazing. I hope you enjoy and I promise I will have new pics from when I come back.  This is the incredible facade of the Duomo in Florence,Itay.  This me at the top of dome of the duomo looking down at the campinale (bell tower) and the rest of the city.  Here is a beautiful Florentine bridge.  My favorite market in Florence. Farmers markets eat your heart out!  The fog burning off on the Grand Canal in Venice!

     I love Taliesin especially because of how you can see the beginnings of modernism coming about. Deep overhangs, zero edge glazing details, and standard window sizes. I also love all the operable windows and shutters integrated into the design. Frank Llyod Wright's brick detailing on corners is also second to none. You can really see the care and thought put into the detailing. You also have to admire the type of guy who would put his name on the corner stone as well as his branding label.
    These are some photos I took of the more interesting parts of this fairly difficult to perceive form of the building. This building was designed by Canadian architect Arthur Erickson. The building is easy to figure out from the inside but from the outside the entries are hard to find if you are a pedestrian, it is obviously designed for car bound visitors. The state of the art "Hot Shop Amphitheater" is a great space inside and out and really makes the form eye catching. I also love the juxtaposition of the modern building against the gritty Tacoma downtown buildings and shipping/rail yard. Lastly, if you are an admirer of Dale Chihuly's work, like I am, the bridge of glass on the exterior of the building is truly amazing.

Architectural Photography
I enjoy capturing the details and the essence of buildings through photography. I also love to travel, so I'll be posting my favorite images from around the world, as well as close to home.
