It's something I've always been interested in. Actually, the only career in photography that I ever dreamed of having was to photograph buildings.
There are more interesting buildings in Minneapolis (where I grew up) than here in Alaska, so I'll get this started with a photo of the Foshay Tower in downtown Minneapolis. Credited with being the first "skyscraper" west of the Mississippi River, the Foshay Tower was completed in 1929, two months before the stock market crash.
I took this photo in the mid-1980s with a Cambo 4x5 view camera. I made my first prints of it this past weekend, for a print exchange. Innova FibaPrint Matte paper with a sepia tint....but I guess you won't see the sepia tint in this online image.
I'd love to see some of your photos of interesting architecture. To this day....buildings are one of my favorite subjects.
