Saint Louis has a great wealth of architecture, and its hidden all about the city. This is one example of a public school with a fantastic front door. :)

There is something incongruent about the sky being darker than the subject. I like the fact that in B&W photography, you can take and darken the sky till its almost black and still leave your subject at the correct exposure.

I wish we would build more buildings that have features like these. There just isn’t enough truly beautiful architecture. S Grand Blvd and Vista Ave, St Louis, MO 63110
At the bottom of this statue are the words, "Sicut In Coelo Et In Terra" in Latin which mean "As in Heaven, so also in Earth". Its a quote from the Lords Prayer. I have a verticle panorama of this figure, which I will post tomorrow.

Of all the architectural styles, I like the Gothic style best. They built things so tall, thin and intricate. Church spires and crosses in this style have an elegance second to none.

This photo was taken on an abandoned overpass that used to connect South Spring Avenue over the train tracks. I like the composition, especially the way the wire adds a curved element in an otherwise straight geometrical scene. I added vignetting to this photo, and I think, along with the…
At least I think its a turbine. It was big though, and interesting.

You don’t see that kind of sinage anymore. At some point, I should look up the historical significance of this building.

Stacked railroad ties found in a storage lot just off Chouteau Ave and South Grand Blvd. I liked the abstractness of the image and the way it uses vertical and horizontal lines.Chouteau Ave and S Grand Blvd, St Louis, MO 63110
This is a composite of four images, taken at night of the Saint Louis Art Museum from the bottom of the Grand Basin. The exposures were about 20 seconds long and I used an aperture of about f/11 or f/8 for maximum sharpness and depth of field.The Art Museum was…
Say hello to my little friend. ;) The Reticulated Giraffe is the tallest living land mammal. They are known for they’re exceptionally good eyesight and hearing.
The African Lion is the only big cat that lives in social groups. They eat just about anything they can catch and kill. I saw a Pride of lions while in Africa several months ago. Beautiful animals.
The Amur Tiger is a big cat, who likes the cold, is somewhat social, and occasionaly sheds its stripes.
