Those folks who have been following my Facebook page (just click the icon in the sidebar or click here) know that recently I have been doing a bit of urban architectural photography. In fact, I have been shooting in downtown Pittsburgh for the last several weekends along with two friends and have been enjoying it very much.
I find that I approach city shooting in much the same way that I approach nature and landscape photography, which is to say that I find myself attracted to graphic lines and shapes and generally simple compositions. I can easily see this becoming a small project, so I thought I would offer up two recent images from our outing to Union Station, which was built between 1898 and 1903 by Chicago architect Daniel Burnham.

I will likely post more images of Pittsburgh architecture as I slowly process my favorite shots from these weekend forays.

Nice job! I love the linear and spatial relationships of your photos....bravo!
Thanks very much..I really appreciate your taking the time to comment Ravyn.
Union Station 1 reminds me of a mandala...lovely.
Now that you mention it....it sure does!
Luckily, it looks like you weren't stopped by the Anti-Photography officials.
Nice work!
Thanks very much Mike. We were actually asked to leave by the guard but he didn't discover we were there until we were just about done anyway!
These are very nice Howard. I have always been tempted to attempt some architectural photography, images like this give me further inspiration.
Thanks Mark......it was really fun to do. Go with some friends as it makes it easier to take being asked to leave by security guards when you have done absolutely nothing wrong. It makes going out to breakfast afterwards more fun as well!
