PHOTOGRAPHY PORTFOLIO

Photography, as a powerful medium of expression and communications, offers an infi nite variety of perception, interpreta-tion and execution.

-Ansel Adams

AFTER BEING AWARDED THE

ALLERTON TRAVELING SCHOL-

ARSHIP, I WAS GIVEN THE

OPPORTUNITY TO TRAVEL THE

COAST OF CALIFORNIA AND

OBSERVE A VARIETY OF AR-

CHITECTURE. WITH A DIVERSE

RANGE OF ARCHITECTURAL

STYLES – FROM SPANISH

ELECTRIC TO THE INNOVATIVE

WORK BEING DONE IN CULVER

CITY – THERE WAS MUCH TO

STUDY FOR ANY ARCHITEC-

TURAL ENTHUSIAST.

FOR FEAR OF BEING TOO NAR-ROW MINDED AND MISSING OUT ON A BROADER PERSPECTIVE; I DECIDED TO STUDY THE BIGGER PICTURE OF CALIFORNIA’S URBAN DEVELOPMENT. WHAT I SOUGHT AFTER WAS FINDING Architecture THAT WAS EITHER HISTORIC, IN-NOVATIVE, OR IS AN ICONIC, CUL-TURAL LANDMARK.

IN MY TRAVELS, I OBSERVED

ARCHITECTURE THAT WAS UN-

LIKE ANYTHING HERE IN THE

MIDWEST; OFTEN TIMES VERY

COMPLEX AND RESPONSIVE TO

NOT ONLY THE URBAN ENVIRON-

MENT, BUT AS WELL AS TO THE

NATURAL ENVIRONMENT.
