Miami, Florida, USA view map

This is the 1973 Annex building of the Bacardi headquarters by architect Ignacio Carrera-Justiz with stained glass decoration after a painting by German artist Johannes Dietz, depicting the production process of rum. On a business trip to Miami I went there, it was one of the few things I really wanted to see. So when the rest of the group went to bed I took a taxi from the hotel and started circumventing the building looking for the best angle. After a few long exposure shots I walked to the main building to continue shooting there. When I looked back, suddenly the lights of the building went out (at exactly 1:23 AM), and the magic was gone. I like that there is some colour left in the background. This marvellous building proves that my conviction that the seventies were a dull and flat era culturally cannot be not completely true.

A very nice piece of architecture. Architects and photographers are good friends. Excellent picture.
