<span class="text"><font color="#eeeeee" class="text"> <div style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal; "> <p><font size="4">Though preferring to be considered an "art" photographer, I am basically at the service of architects. The real mission is to show each structure as its Platonic ideal: that is, as the architect imagined it, not as it all too often looks in real life.<br /> <br /> As luck would have it many architects are not such great photographers; they tend to shoot when the light is too direct and arrange the furniture in 3 dimensions instead of for a flat view. Wanting to include too much, they risk showing little.<br /> <br /> The great photographer Arnold Newman said, "Photography is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent moving furniture." In addition to pondering these issues, along with color, contrast, and composition, I try to create several views within each larger picture. These mini-frames increase the time it takes the viewer to appreciate the complexity of the overall design ... the essence of a successful photograph. <br /> <br /> With this in mind, please examine the following pages. No matter how difficult the subject matter or what the circumstance, the pictures must never be compromised. For the sake of the client and one’s own reputation, you <u><em><strong>are</strong></em></u> what you shoot.</font></p> </div></font></span><br>
