Simple Italianate houses fascinate me. The City of Cincinnati describes Italianates (1860 - 1890) as two or three stories high, rectangular in plan, with low-pitched roofs. They are brick with metal, stone, or wood ornamentation. A distinctive feature is a cornice. Their design is thin with tall windows, similar to 19th-century commercial buildings.

Compression and Separation

Lens selection is a creative choice made before stepping outside. A 50mm is how a photographer sees; a 35mm is how one thinks, and a 135mm is how one sees and thinks while driving.

How it all began

If it hand’t been for West Texas, I probably wouldn’t have done monovchromramatic photography. If it hand’t been for school, I probably wouldn’t have done monovchromramatic photography. If it hadn’t been for the 1990s, I probably wouldn’t have done monovchromramatic photography.

Eyesore

In saying very little, I stood closer to what I had to say and encountered it before I knew what it was. Brag about eyesores if there’s almost nothing nice to say.
