Architecture nominee

From details of the Frank Gehry designed museum in Seattle originally called The Experience Music Project (EMP) and now called The Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP)

I first started taking photographs seriously in 1967 with my inexpensive Yashica Mat twin lense reflex, a camera that I loved for its 2 1/4 square negative and the fact that I was looking down into a box and not pointing a long intimidating lense at the subject. Since I was mostly interested in people it was perfect. Everything I shot was in black and white, which I still prefer. Now I shoot only 35 and only digital. So something has been gained but something has also been lost.
Up until last year, I showed my work to almost no one. Last year I launched a website and started to enter online photo contests. I won three honorable mentions earlier this year for Monovision. I've been enjoying the process.
