A capture of a local new office buildings. Well designed with lots if linear elements and sharp corners. In the middle is a circular glass sections with blades of steel running all around the outer circular steel frame. The roof slopes to create a very modern, clean but quite artistically pleasing building.
Just decided to take a capture today as the light was quite subtle and wanted ti see if I can do it justice with not much post processing

Sometimes you have to really look to find photos, and sometimes you turn a corner and it is right there like a building to the face. I knew in less than a second of seeing this that I was going to make a photo of it, it just had to be done; the geometry was too nice to pass up. The clouds were a nice bonus.

Supersampler + Vivitar UWS + Film tbc...
The results of another double exposure collaboration. This time between myself and the crazy mad and very lovely ~fiona~; who shot the first run through on the roll using her Supersampler. I subsequently shot over it using the Vivitar Ultra Wide & Slim.
We did not plan individual frames, and had no idea what the other would shoot, what camera they would use, nor did we attempt to line up the frames. There are a few occasions when I've felt the need to crop, but not much and not on many from this roll.
This photograph is taken inside the main building of the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, first floor, with the camera pointed straight upwards into the ceiling structure.
What is normally overlooked becomes the subject: light, grid, repetition and geometry.
Stripped of context, the ceiling transforms into an abstract composition — a disciplined matrix of squares, lines and glowing points. Blue light punctuates the darker structure, creating rhythm and depth, while the strict geometry introduces a sense of order and control.
It is architectural design seen not as function, but as form — a reminder that abstraction often already exists around us, waiting only for a shift in perspective.
Fun fact: Looking straight up removes spatial orientation and depth cues, making architectural photography behave more like abstract art — the brain reads pattern before place.
I took a Night Photography class sponsored by Desert Botanical Garden and taught by Ryan Parra - a photography professor at Mesa Community College and Arizona State University. I learned a lot and practiced a lot. I really feel that I had improved significantly by the end of the class. One big problem with classes like this is keeping other photographers out of the frame.
This HYBYCOZO sculpture is titled Pyrite Field. It greets visitors in the Ottosen Entry Garden. Any correction will be appreciated.

LIGHT BLOOM by HYBYCOZO is a limited-time exhibit where nature and light converge. This mesmerizing display invites you to explore the Garden transformed by stunning geometric light installations that illuminate the beauty of the desert landscape in a new way. As the sun sets, LIGHT BLOOM comes to life, casting intricate shadows and vibrant hues across the Garden. Wander the trails and let the enchanting installations transport you to a magical realm where the natural world meets the abstract.
HYBYCOZO is the collaborative studio of artists Serge Beaulieu and Yelena Filipchuk. Based in Los Angeles, their work consists of larger than life geometric sculptures, often with pattern and texture that draw on inspirations from mathematics, science, and natural phenomena. Typically illuminated, the work celebrates the inherent beauty of form and pattern and represents their ongoing journey in exploring the myriad dimensions of geometry. HYBYCOZO is short for the Hyperspace Bypass Construction Zone, a nod to their favorite novel (The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy) and was the title of their first installation in 2014. They continue to create under this name. In the novel earth was being destroyed to make way for a bypass. It lead Serge and Yelena to ask what it means to make art at a time where the earth’s hospitable time in the universe may be limited.

Q: Walk us through your creative process?
A: The focus of our creative process is to explore the intricate interplay between geometry, light, space and to inspire contemplation, wonder and a sense of place among our audiences. Geometry and pattern-making serve as the backbone of our creative expression. It is the framework through which we navigate the complexities of form, proportion and spatial relationships. Patterns, both simple and complex, have a profound impact on our perception and understanding of the world. They possess the ability to evoke a sense of order, balance and aesthetic pleasure. Pattern making and geometry offer us a means of storytelling and communication. These patterns serve as conduits for deeper exploration, provoking introspection and contemplation to uncover the underlying symbols embedded within the human psyche.
Q: What inspired the concept of LIGHT BLOOM?
A: Just as many cactus and desert plants have evolved to produce night-blooming flowers, adapting to their environment and thriving in darkness, our sculptures come alive after sunset, blossoming with light and transforming the night into a glowing landscape of art and geometry.
Desert Botanical Garden has an incredible collection of plants and cacti arranged in a beautiful park setting.
"Think the desert is all dirt and tumbleweeds? Think again. Desert Botanical Garden is home to thousands of species of cactus, trees and flowers from all around the world spread across 55 acres in Phoenix, Arizona."

Went on a walk today (the weather is beautiful in South Florida right now). Saw this interesting building and took various shots with it with my exposure high.
class is dismissed....
but there WILL be a quiz later...

For what seems to be becoming a yearly tradition, CSX's W003 Geometry Train arrived in Grand Rapids the week before Christmas. #9969 was taken off the train and sent to Cumberland for servicing, while the train itself was placed in the old GR Car Shop for storage. Last week, #9969 returned to Grand Rapids on M326, and on Tuesday the locomotive was reunited with its train and went east to Detroit. Two days later, it returned west to Grand Rapids, and tested every siding on the Plymouth Sub. Nearing the end of its journey, W003 is seen rounding the sweeping curve between East Paris and 36th streets in Kentwood on a sunny (but very cold) January afternoon.
It isn't often that you find, or at least know about, a geometry train (one that has a car that looks for track and roadbed defects) that runs at night. Or, at the very least, is being transported from one place to another after dark.
But BNSF does do this, and on this night, an observer in La Crosse, Wl spotted this one heading for Chicago. Thanks to him and R.G. Hough verifying that it wasn't going to overnight at Savanna, the La Crosse-based crew made a beeline for Aurora, IL...after being stopped for 10 minutes by two Union Pacific trains at Rochelle. Once they cleared up, they wasted no time getting up to speed and flying under the signal bridge at Rochelle, IL, just a mere one minute after midnight on July 1.
