Farmers and Merchants National Bank is a historic lending institution in Downtown Los Angeles. As the regions first great indigenous bank it is known for both its architecture and its pivotal role in the economic development of early L.A.
The Farmers and Merchants National Bank was founded in 1871 by Isaias W. Hellman, who was a successful merchant, real estate speculator and banker, and also by John G. Downey, the seventh governor of Los Angeles. The bank was started with only an initial capital of $500,000 from 23 prominent Los Angeles businessmen, with the largest investments coming from both Hellman and Downey.
Isaias was a cautious lender, insisting that major borrowers have good moral character and provide good security. The bank's subsequent presidents continued Hellman's conservative practices and as a result, the bank survived every panic from 1873 through the Great Depression. However, as a single-branch Downtown bank it was eventually recognized that it was unlikely to grow. In 1956, it merged with Security First National Bank, which later became Security Pacific National Bank, and ultimately was acquired by Bank of America. Built in 1905, the bank was designed by the firm Moran and Wells. Designed in the Classical Revival style, the Farmers and Merchants National Bank remains one of Southern California's finest examples of the early "temples of finance", which were popular at the turn of the century. Its two-story façade, reminiscent of a Roman temple, is punctuated by an entrance framed with Corinthian columns topped by a large triangular pediment.
Much of the original banking room remains, including light fixtures, a central skylight, and the loggia with its Victorian-style railings. Operating as a bank until its closure in the late 1980s, the building now functions primarily as a special events and banquet facility and film location.
I had wanted to shoot this angle before i even saw this lighthouse because a good while back I had heard a story about how a photographer i really respected had arrived here in the midst of a bunch of other photographers - picked this one angle and took one shot that just "nailed it" - once i heard that story i had to try this angle out. So this one's for him...

Upstairs in silo city. Grain silos are interesting enough as is, and are mostly intact when you visit them, but when it's whole complex? It's next level. I've spent so much time here and I still think of going back and revisiting them from time to time.

A classic view of Bath in my particular style.
I hope you enjoy this picture and help to remember this singular place or It invites to visit it.
That is the main target of my whole work.
The “Depot Boijmans” Van Beuningen is the first art storage facility in the world that offers full access to a museum’s complete collection. The Depot has a different dynamic to that of the museum: there are no exhibitions, but you can browse amongst 151,000 artworks, alone or with a guide, and get behind-the-scenes glimpses of - among other things - conservation and restoration.
Usually many international museums can only showcase six to seven per cent of their collections in exhibitions. The remaining 94 percent is hidden in storage. Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen breaks with this tradition of concealment. The architectural design makes visible what until now was mostly invisible. It is unique and iconic reflective building, specially designed by MVRDV to meet the requirements of this unprecedented typology. Once completed, visitors of the Depot can immerse themselves in the world behind the scenes of the museum. Surrounded by art, visitors are led upwards through the atrium via five large zigzag stairways that are reminiscent of the etchings from Giovanni Piranesi.
99 percent of the building can be visited by the public. The form of the 39,5-metre-high Depot is ovoid, a building ‘in the round’. Its bowl-like shape means that the ground-level footprint is small – maintaining views into and routes through the Museumpark – while the roof is as expansive as possible. The crisscrossing staircases that will lead visitors to exhibition rooms and curators’ studios will also lead up to the rooftop, and the structures in the atrium will eventually hold glass display vitrines.
The Depot was designed by architect Winy Maas.
Please notice that the word “Nieuw” sits in the reflection on the building’ skin. These are there because of “Het Nieuwe Instituut” for architecture, design and digital culture
Technical stuff
This is a 3-shot HRD on a tripod. The initial merge was done with Aurora HDR 2018. I used 3 layers for post-production and used serval pre-sets that I adjusted. Finally, I added some copyright signs (in PS). The latter is, alas, there to stay due to the fact that my photos were frequently copied. So, don't bother commenting on that.
New Beginnings - St Paul’s Cathedral, London. 🇬🇧
It was truly incredible to watch a city like London fade away into a shadow of its former self last year.
But just like humanity, it’s even more incredible to see that energy return, even stronger, more vibrant than ever before - as we all appreciate the world around us just that little bit more.
There’s something really special about seeing the signs of a new beginning, first hand - my only hope is that we’re all able to share in that feeling together as the world, once again, gets that little bit smaller and our horizons grow a whole lot bigger.
This photo is a series of 3 photographs (-1, 0. +1) compiled from RAW and merged in photoshop to make a HDR image.
IT WAS COLD, but i think this image was worth the frozen fingertips.
EDIT: i am going to try and get the same shot with the "wings" of this building open... i will post a link when this happens. thanks for all the wonderful comments!!!

National Air and Space Museum, Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Sterling, VA. This is the museum branch at Dulles airport. It is a very large hangar, so the displays are the actual air and spacecraft.

I remember going with someone over to the Wellington Destructor near this spot to check out the building as word online was it was accessible. It wasn't, but we saw Stan who lived in the incinerator and his cats. We walked around and found this old garage under demolition. It was the first active demolition site I checked out with a freshly reassembled shit fish eye, a Zenit 16 that sheared apart at another location the week before.
This spot wasn't super interesting, but I'm still a sucker for a building with no roof 17 years later.

Miami, at Florida's southeastern tip, is a vibrant city whose Cuban influence is reflected in the cafes and cigar shops that line Calle Ocho in Little Havana. Miami Beach, on barrier islands across the turquoise waters of Biscayne Bay. This city is home to glamorous South Beach, famed for its colorful art deco buildings, white sand beaches, surfside hotels and trendsetting nightclubs.
