Cant"L"ever
The inspiration for this photo was to feature the sign about Photographing Frank Lloyd Wright that I saw on the Chicago/Franklin "L" station platform, the subject truly intrigued me. I utilized the dramatic simplicity (ironic but true) of black and white photography. Frank Lloyd Wright pioneered the Prairie Style, the first truly American style of architecture. He is famously known for the use of cantilever elements and horizontal lines in his designs. I believe his architectural aesthetic is captured in the framing with the horizontal lines created by the lights, the metal grates, the rails and the bottom layer of wood planking. The lights reflecting on the glass in the background offer a "cantilever effect" appearing as floating suspended layers. This is my best shot of the year!
