Hi

I put a new photo essay on Flickr entitled Architectural Rhythms

Architectural Rhythms

Repetition has been a part of architecture throughout the ages. The 
advent of skyscrapers increased the possibilities for repetition, 
because of the larger scale of the buildings. The modern style, for 
better or worse (I would say some of each), accentuates the 
repetition because of its use of simple forms and symmetry.

The use of reflective material such as glass and stainless steel 
further accentuates the sense of repetition. I find this 
fascinating-the way behemoth buildings seem to interact with each 
other through reflection presents me with some of my favorite photo 
subjects.

Almost all the images in this photo essay are of architecture that 
uses repetition, and all have some kind of rhythmic element to them.

I love natural forms.but I also love man-made forms. I do not 
consider one to be essentially more beautiful than the other, for at 
the bottom of things man is a part of nature, and so everything 
man-made can be thought of as being natural!

I hope this photo essay makes you more sensitive to the beauty to be 
found in the urban environment.
