Santa Fe style, Santa Fe, New Mexico, 2010

Early morning light shapes the contours and textured surfaces of Santa Fe’s distinctive architecture. I exposed on the brilliantly illuminated adobe walls with my spot meter, allowing the surrounding shadowed areas to recede into darkness.

Thanks, Claudia, for speaking of feeling -- that is exactly what am trying to evoke here. It does evoke the beauty of the architecture, but the image also asks the viewer to become part of it by experiencing the textures and the abstract power of photography.

A technique i learned to appreciate ;)))...
Architecture is the result of ones mind, i love to see the light and shadow plays against those structures and if the texture is already interesting, captures like these enhance the beauty of the designs. Capturing an image, capturing some sort of a feeling...
