My Eyes Can See What You Can Feel!
4 years ago
I was once told that I have a good eye for texture, for feeling, and for art. While I primarily focus on architectural photography, I would like to capture people as well. Similar to my conversations with structures, I want my eyes to witness the depth of people’s emotions through my camera. I would like my still images to be an outlet for my subjects to tell their stories to the audience. —I have done some work in Baltimore, Chicago, Washington, New Orleans and most recently Seattle. -- I like it when buildings talk about themselves through my pictures. They scream, speak, smile and whisper. They share their history and personality to the viewer. I guess buildings are the extensions of the people that designed and built them. —My favorite contemporary architects are Arata Isozaki (Milan), Daniel Libeskind (Milan), Eero Saarinen (Dulles, VA), Frank Gehry (Portland), Sir Norman Foster (London), Peter Eisenman (Berlin), Rem Koolhaas (Seattle), Renzo Piano (Paris), Richard Meier (Atlanta), Santiago Calatrava (Toronto), Zaha Hadid (Milan). The cities behind their names are where some of their works are found, not where they live. -- I met the great contemporary Spanish architect, Santiago Calatrava. One day, I will have my works hanging in his office. - One day.
