I wish I could show this to everyone who questioned why I went to school
for Architecture then Photography, as if they were unrelated and isolated. 
For me, the marriage is obvious. 


The artist is Alex Roman
Check out his The Third & The Seventh website.

     A few months ago I came across the work of photographer Christopher Payne and
     can't stop thinking about his images.  The photos in his 'Asylum' series are particularly
     breathtaking and I can't wait for my copy of his book to arrive.  Between 2002 and 2008,
     Payne photographed seventy mental hospitals in thirty states, gathering images of aging
     and abandoned institutions.  Trained as an architect, Payne's photography naturally
     gravitates towards historical and industrial architecture.  What I enjoy so much about his
     hospital series is how he documented the silence and calm of these places that we've all
     imagined as terrifying, uneasy and sometimes violent.  His photos capture moments that
     allow the viewer to transport back to a time where patients, doctors and staff still walked
     the halls.  Throughout these spaces, the colours, abandoned objects and equipment are
     signifiers of the past and provide a humanistic element that helps describe the quality of
     life inside the seemingly ominous architecture.

I just watched the trailer for this movie and am really excited to see the
whole film.  I love Julius Shulman's photography, his photos are among
some of the most recognizable because of subject but also because of
his clarity and precision.

             The lines of the building create a frame within the frame on the right, and the
             shadow cutting the rectangle on the bias at the left, brings the focus to the
             figure standing in the shadows, which gives a sense of scale to the architecture. 
             Shulman stands in the perfect position to connect the vertical and horizontal,
             creating a continuous line that draws the eye through the photo from corner to
             corner.  So simple, yet, so incredibly effective.
