Some fence shadows cast upon a wall opposite and a protective industrial fence for Fence Friday and for this week's 100x theme of shadows.

The Chrysler building. If you consider the Empire State Building the King of New York City, then the Chrysler is the Queen.
Shot with 17mm TS lens and 16 stops of ND filters. 7 minutes exposure time.
Don’t ask why I left the signs and billboards in there. I’ll explain this and more in a few short essays on art in photography in the next weeks on my website. Highly theoretical but it’s time to switch from the technical part to the theoretical part, from aesthetics to passion.

I live in a town where the tallest building is a dildo of 19 floors. True!
The second highest is 14 floors of donger-waving by a bank.
Here is a very modest office building of around 36 floors in Akihabara or Electric Town, Tokyo, Japan.
I would love to shoot fine art pics of big buildings but then, the natural holds more appeal.
This frame is just me playing around while learning some techniques for when I get to somewhere that is really cramped for space.

Aegna, a small island that from its shores has always observed the Estonian capital Tallinn. It
hosted few settlements of fishermen in its golden days, a soviet base in the darkest ones, and
nowadays abandoned constructions along with wild nature. Now the population is accounted to be
of six people, who are not to be found despite any effort; mainland dwellers fleeing the city for a
greener place are instead the only humans that can be spotted. Exploring the island I've indeed
found a summer centre for Buddhist meditation and a couple of monks in spiritual retire, but then
only ran-down or even crumbling facilities of the soviet era, new built estates with the typical traits
of the Scandinavian architecture, spiritual spots for offerings to unknown deities, as well as many
other puzzling and inapprehensible things, like feathers scattered on a pathway for an instance. Not
the actual inhabitants though, except the ones buried in the local cemetery, which counts dozens of
tombstones on a musky field adorned by lichens. Here the people are at the best just an ephemeral
phenomenon, solely consistence of the residuals of their past existence.
On my recent visit for my twin grand daughter’s fourth birthday and my seventieth I managed to spend a day photographing dear old Boston.
Here I am at the new South Boston Waterfront, which is increasingly becoming known as the Seaport District. It is considered the “hottest, fastest growing real estate market in the country”. Boston has old city charm with new city architectural design. What sets Boston apart is that it is a great walking
town exposing itself to its diverse culture, history, New England seafood, the famed “North End” steeped with the best Italian dishes, and the greatest sports town along with its fans in America.

As some of you might have noticed my latest 3 or 4 architectural images are different from my previous successful and award winning series from the past few years. Reason: I always try to keep moving, and never stand still, even if it means you have to leave a successful concept.
To quote Mark Twain: to stand still is to fall behind.
I'm not saying I'm going to change and revolutionize the world of architectural fine art photography, absolutely not. I'm just saying I'm changing myself, once again. Subtle but important changes in my view to keep growing and never get bored of myself and my work.
What you see since a few months and what you will see in the future is a combination of the fine art architectural photography I've done for the past few years and the more technical, sterile and conventional architectural photography as we have always known. Changes will grow over time, this photo reflects today's status. If you want to know more and learn about my new architectural direction, my changed artistic approach and much more that keeps the artistic spirit going, then visit our Chicago architectural fine art photography workshop and I will tell you all about it.
