Blown Away
Above is the aptly-named "Elements" condo/office/retail complex in Bellevue, WA. I think I could spend every day of a month shooting this building.
Title is my little nod to the fact that there is one less crazy man now stalking the earth - and perhaps more so to the fact that it was a "victory." None of us are perfect people, and I'll admit my moral weakness right up front: when I first heard he was dead, I was initially worried that he'd "passed away" like his kidneys failed or something. I breathed a sigh of relief and of cheer when, a moment later, it became clear that we "got" him. Never a good thing to revel in anyone's death, but I'd be lying if said I wasn't happy that it was a "Hollywood ending." Hope no one is offended at that thought. Pride is one of the vices, and like any vices that you allow yourself just briefly, it feels reeeeeeeeaaally good.
On a different note, I simply can not, in few/simple words, address the amount of inspiration Kevin has provided me (regarding my ongoing posting of shots like this one). I'd never seen architectural photography like his before, and I've been hooked ever since I first tried.
