Beautifully executed. I like the contrasts and shapes. I enjoy photographing architecture and am a fan of good architectural work. My father Philip Hyde, who was a student and teaching associate of Ansel Adams, photographed architecture to fill in the gaps between his main projects. During his 60 years as a full-time photographer, he helped put the color in landscape photography while his images helped protect more national parks and wilderness than any other photographer. He didn’t photograph Europe until he was in his 70s, but he never made it to London, except back in 1933 when he was 11 years old with his family. I’ve only photographed Tuscany and Rome, but would love to make it to London to experience it’s rich history.

Thanks, Brian. Glad you are a fan. Would love to hear how you first heard of him, if you get a chance either here or over on Landscape Photography Blogger. Hope you will take a few minutes and stop by some time. I wish I had made better photographs of Florence when I was there. I was using my all-manual film Pentax K1000, which is a good camera, but not always quick enough in the street. Plus, up until 2009, as I wrote about recently, I photographed so rarely that I usually forgot everything I knew in between.
