Santa Barbara is simply one of the most beautiful cities in the world (at least of the cities I've visited). I'm not usually a fan of Spanish colonial architecture but I have to admit, I really love it there.
Modernist buildings are few and far between in Santa Barbara, but this is one of them and it's in remarkably good, well preserved condition. I took a couple of photos of this place at different times of the day. Here's the first one.

The Guardian Building is a skyscraper at 500 Griswold Street in the downtown of the city of Detroit, in the state of Michigan, in the United States of America. The Guardian is a class-A office building owned by Wayne County, Michigan and serves as its headquarters. Built in 1928 and finished in 1929, the building was originally called the Union Trust Building and is a bold example of Art Deco architecture, including art moderne designs. At the top of the Guardian Building's spire is a large American Flag, complementing the four smaller flags atop nearby 150 West Jefferson. The building has undergone recent award-winning renovations. It was designated a National Historic Landmark on June 29, 1989, and it is part of the Detroit Financial District.
After a successful weekend away at Barn on the Farm music festival I'm back on the island and ready to head out and take many photos. Having only my phone and small compact with me to take photos on (this shot was taken on my compact) made me realise how much I missed my DSLR and has given me the drive to go out and shoot more.

Broad St., Richmond, Virginia 1985
In 1985, I made a reconnaissance trip to Richmond, scouting it out as a possible place to live. This sign, more than anything else, sparked my decision to move there the very next year. I took this shot on that visit.
Why would a derelict sign trigger such a big decision? I knew that i wanted to live in a downtown area -- for the simple reason that I wanted the visual stimulus of the downtown look. I may not have known it beforehand, but when I saw this sign, I recognized "the look" that I was craving. I found it exciting just looking at this vital corner, and I still do. If this had been the only such corner in Richmond I probably wouldn't have moved there, but the entire downtown stretch of Broad Street -- and Grace Street, as well -- was rich with great signs and handsome old buildings and Hopperesque storefronts. There was no question that downtown Richmond's heyday was over, but the area was still pulsing with vitality -- visual, if not economic.
The Coke sign, incidentally, was refurbished in recent years. The work they did will help to preserve it for a few more decades, but I prefer the way it looks right here.
Plastic cameras can offer fun and interesting results, and this is certainly one of them. When I was in San Francisco I took a picture of the neighboring buildings beside the hotel I was staying in. The quality of the lens is such that the buildings bow inward, which is most dramatic from the outer portion of the scene. This actually helps draw the viewer’s eyes into the center of the frame. The center is reasonably sharp and unlike many Holga cameras, this one does not display the light leaks that oftentimes characterize the images.
Of course, that also could be due to the duct tape that has been added to the camera.
Everywhere you looked in Havana seemed like we had stepped back to the past. To get this shot, I did not have to wait long until two old cars were in the foreground before photographing the building.
I finally got a chance to get a better shot than this earlier stab.
