Okay, I am not super happy with this. I am really not that good, but enjoyed getting out and exploring yesterday.

I was thinking about what buildings I would wish to show people and i came up with a couple. My first photos is this.
Historic Hayden Mill

My next subject was Tempe Gammage Theater. This building is an example of renowned architect, Frank Lloyd Wright.

I had planned to only shoot black and white yesterday, yet another challenge for myself, but the color is so interesting I chose to include color here. AZ is the Copper state and it shows in the buildings of Arizona State University.

This is ASU's music building. Same color as Gammage, but so interesting in its texture, I decided I liked it in B and W. My sweet Charles use to say I couldn't shoot a straight picture...I believe he might be correct, even though I try all the time.

The back of ASU School of Music. I took close to 400 shots, sadly, I am not all that happy with them. Enjoy the history of my city.

I like this one very much, Rhapsody.
The tree and the concrete, forms made by nature and man-made, the variety of geometric forms ...
 
Here are final photos which I believed was also a Frank Lloyd Wright design ( I could not find were it says this anywhere, i just always thought it was). It is the former home of a Lincoln Savings and Loan. They were all over AZ for ages, until they became notorious with a scandel.

It certainly looks like a FLW building..but might just be a knock off.

So, as I don't have time to get out and do any photography this week. I found the time to edit one I took near the end of July. Hope editing it just for this gets at least some credit :p

I know the building is a bit small, but was going for the road and tree in the shot as well. Since you can't tell very well, it's a very old grain elevator, it's starting to fall apart. I prefer old ruined buildings over any new architecture here in the city.

What a great roof. I like how you managed to avoid most of the salad ads.
 
I thought I'd stop by and see what new had been posted. I certainly wasn't disappointed. Great photos everyone. :)
