I wanted to build this image around the enormous arch over the doors to this former station, as well as the reflection of Old Tacoma in its huge window. With any other lens, I would have to back up in order to fit the arch into my frame. However, the super widengle lens at 16mm allows me to move in on that arch and fill the frame with it. The closer I get to it, the simpler the image becomes, and the more visible the detail becomes for context. Among that detail is a life-sized statue of a 19th century traveler. It is only a few feet from my lens, yet appears quite small in comparison to the large arch. This image demonstrates scale relationships achievable only with super wideangle optics.
