  • One of the most known landmarks in Reykjavik is Hallgrímskirkja. This Lutheran church stands almost 250 feet high and being on a hill is visible from many areas of the city. It took quite some time for the church to be built, 41 years, and was completed in 1986. The most photographed part of the church is the front, so I explored for a little different view of the church which I found on the opposite side. It was quite empty on this side of the church on a nice late summer day in the capitol city. As I photographed from here you can see some of the design elements noticeable in front blended more so with the building itself.

  • The main concert hall in Reykjavik is Harpa which was designed to resemble the landscape around Iceland. As I walked around the city and passed by the building I would always stop as throughout the day and varying conditions the facade looks quite different. For this image I zoomed in at the gap of the two main components of the complex. This allowed the detail of the building to show as well as giving the glass different sizes in the frame based on their location.

  • The times I have stood in front of Harpa it never is the same. As the environmental elements change so does the appearance of the building where if you were to take this same image over multiple days you would get a differing result. For a while I stood in this location and watched it change as the sun went behind the clouds on this early September day. With Reykjavik also being so far north the position of the sun changes drastically over the course of the year as well which also provides differing directions of shadows from the light.

  • Located along (and in) the City Pond, the Town Hall of Reykjavik is a modern building with lines with draw you into the building itself. From the west you enter the building over a slightly curving path over the water which on many days will give you time to check out the many birds which spend time in the pond.The building is open to the public and features a large 3D map of Iceland which you can view in the lower level of the building.

  • While I spent much time photographing the details of Harpa in Reykjavik, I also did capture some of the entire building to help provide context. Looking at a building like this can be quite overwhelming about where to photograph first. When I first walked up to Harpa it was from along the shoreline which allowed me to key in on some detail of the building first prior to moving around to explore all the little pieces. This let me get comfortable with the different shapes and patterns prior to starting to photograph other areas, and also taking breaks to allow my mind to reset and start new in different areas.

  • As I approached the Museum of Liverpool with overcast skies I was immediately taken in with the exterior of the building and how well it worked along the River Mersey. I first went into the building to learn more about Liverpool itself prior to photographing the building with the many angles it provided. For this image I zoomed into the building and let the lines take control of the image with the repeating lines and patterns throughout the image.

  • It has been a while since I have walked past the location of the new Kirkland Museum of Fine and Decorative Art.  Walking past I was surprised at how much it has changed on Bannock in the past few months. The exterior of the museum caught my eye and I explored it with my camera for quite some time, but it was the straight on view which I liked today. I am sure when the light hits the exterior throughout the year it will produce different results.

  • A nice November morning brought me to the area around the Colorado Convention Center and the Denver Performing Arts Complex. Walking around the area, I was looking of objects which could be interesting in an abstract manner. As I walked by the convention center, I noticed the light hitting the metal on the outside of the building for this image.

  • As I was walking along the Freedom Trail in Boston I looked down a small side street and noticed the facade of the Post Office in Boston. The narrow street with a slight curve allowed me to get a great perspective of the lines on this building. I almost kept walking past the building but decided to stop and capture an image of the building itself. With the long lines, I choose to photograph this as a vertical allowing the viewer to get the sense of scale of this building built in the 1930's.

  • When looking at the design elements of Harpa in Reykjavik in Iceland there are many ways to view the building. As I walked around photographing the building over the course of time what I was seeing would change. In this image it was the angle which gave the exterior of the building, as captured from inside, the look of chains linked up together. With this in my mind I changed the was I was photographing to vertical to make those chains longer in the frame.

  • The details of architecture have always grabbed by eye, thus as I took the Chicago Architecture Foundation river cruise through the city it gave me plenty of opportunity to photograph the city where I was born. This scene caught me as it illustrates differences in modern design and how it shows itself in the city. From the simple design on the right to the reflective exterior on the left providing for a different result depending on the time of day and your location you view this building.

  • Last month I made my way out to photograph near Sports Authority Field at Mile High here in Denver as the Broncos regular season was coming to a close. As the stadium was rebranded in the past year to Sports Authority Field new lighting has also been added to the exterior providing some nice accent lighting to what had been there in the past. As the game let out after a win against Cleveland dusk moved in leading to this image along the interstate. This weekend the lights will once again shine as the Broncos face the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday afternoon.

  • It is not the exterior of Harpa which gives much to take in and photograph, the inside is full of interesting elements as well. While walking around the building I noticed the shadows in the various areas of the complex. As I headed up to the second floor I immediately came across the following scene. The challenge here was to position myself to capture the color reflection, but also not to block traffic which was in the building at this time as well. I experimented with having people walking through the scene, but ended up with the image of just the shadows on the floor of Harpa.
