This is another image from my ongoing personal project to document Barton Street East in Hamilton, Ontario. This building is located at the Northwest corner of Barton and Emerald. Although the commercial portion of the grey building along Barton hides the architectural detail at ground level, the rest of the building displays it’s stucco cladding with some interesting diamond patterns. This view is the East wall of the building showing some of the residential entrances. Taken in harsh light to bring out the textures and PP conversion to B&W/monochrome to remove the trivial colour accents. - JW

A fun little animal print dress that's been hiding in the closet,
a good partner for these copper high heel Jessica Bennett

That's an accurate description, don't you think?
Here's a pic from my 2013 archives!

Winter lighting, pretty much right on the Winter Solstice. Little piles of snow here and there. This historic mansion in Morristown NJ was built for Theodore Vail, then president of AT&T Corporation. Completed in 1918, clad in Carerra marble, it is now flanked by condos and is home to the restaurant Jockey Hollow Bar & Grill.

Is was a rainy day and this is hand held to boot, but what the heck. The subdued tones kind of suit me. Hope you like them too. :-)

Early morning settles into the Presidio with a calm that feels earned rather than staged. Along a lightly traveled internal road, a low, wood-clad building sits beneath a pale sky, its form emerging gradually as night gives way. The light is cool and even, revealing weathered shingles, vented gables, and a long, sheltered porch that speaks to utility more than display.
This is the Presidio at its most characteristic. The building’s proportions are practical, its materials straightforward, shaped by climate and use rather than ornament. Repeating rooflines create a gentle rhythm across the façade, while shaded windows and boarded openings suggest a structure in transition — neither abandoned nor fully activated. An empty parking area stretches quietly in the foreground, reinforcing the sense of pause that defines these early hours.
What distinguishes the scene is its restraint. The Presidio has always been a place where buildings are asked to coexist with landscape, not dominate it. Trees frame the edges, grass rises unevenly along the slope, and the architecture holds its place without insisting on attention. There is no spectacle here, only continuity.
Moments like this reveal a side of San Francisco that often goes unnoticed. Before visitors arrive and before daily activity resumes, the Presidio reads as a working landscape with a long memory — layered, patient, and quietly present. The building doesn’t explain itself, and it doesn’t need to. It belongs to the morning, and to the ground it occupies.

Sculpture of Paper-clad Wire Clothes Hangers - hanging from the lobby ceiling at BYU Museum of Art. 'Untitled' sculpture by Dan Steinhilber; photography and color contouring in Photoshop by Royce Bair.
Photographic Techniques:These wire clothes hangers were clad with plain white paper (see this unaltered version). My "vision" was to make the sculpture appear as if it was lighted with complimentary color lights.
And here's a B/W version that also has its merits.
Dan has a great imagination and wonderful sense of design. I love the spirals and abstract patterns he has created with just simple elements.
