I dont know which of these 3 compositions I should take, with or without sashing, totally wired or normal blocks, not sure yet
what do you think about it?
These buildings are on the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Indianapolis Union Station-Wholesale District. Here is their write-up:
Braden's Block No. 2 (Now St. Elmo's Steakhouse), 129-31 South Illinois Street, 1874-75, This three-story, brick building at the intersection of South Illinois and West Chesapeake Streets is noteworthy for the diagonal cut in its plan at this corner. The first floor storefronts have been repeatedly remodeled over the years, most recently with vertical siding and a shake overhang. The second and third floors exhibit pairs of rectangular windows recessed between brick piers and under brick, segmental relieving arches. The third floor is further enriched by compound segmental arches, accented by a molding; carved, foliar pier capitals; and quatrefoil details in the stone trim at the juncture of the arches. A distinctive cornice caps the building's parapet along the Illinois façade and three bays of the Chesapeake side; at the diagonal face, the letters BRADEN proudly appear between projecting corner markers.
Louis G. Deschler Company Building, 135 South Illinois Street, 1906-07 - The upper façade of this three-story commercial building bears the strong imprint of the Jacobethan Revival. The triple windows of the second and third floors are grouped in a central composition detailed in stone, its contrast against the brown brick wall further accented by quoin work. Between the two floors, an elaborately festooned panel proclaims the wares of the original business: "cigars & tobaccos." A steep, stepped gable outlined in stone rises above the parapet and in front of a tiled roof penthouse. Interesting details include the gable's carved tablet, the "brackets" at the parapet line, and the gargoyles perched at the first floor stringcourse, below which nothing appears to remain of the building's original storefront.
The whole composition of this picture was inspired by the Japanese crime manga series, Detective Conan. One of my favorite mystery manga series of all time. The posture of subject matter here is set up as a crime scene that appears in Detective Conan. Overall, I adapted the idea from the inspiration into one of my own work, which falls into the series of "Something just happened".

Week 2 Theme: Cold
I needed something cold and different for today's photo. After racking my brain I came up with this, seemed to be the only faucet in the house with the words Cold on it. This photo reminded me of the subjects you choose when you are learning composition in class, basically photographing and staging everything around you. To finish it off I went with a BW look that I think made this look perfect for what I was trying to achieve. Thank for stopping by.
