it isn't easy to take pictures that are so limited in subject matter. you do it quite well.

When you drive around all day long, they are plenty of opportunities to find these subjects. One of the aspects of these images I think is crucial is that they are not just random discoveries... I typically pass these buildings dozens of times, observing them and and thinking about them for weeks at a time before actually deciding to photograph them.The images in this series are almost always the end result of a lengthy contemplation.

this is an outstanding shot !
I know precisely what you mean about passing them every day, I have some of my favorite scenes in my archives from over ten years running. I actually get some pleasure 'rediscovering' them and recomposing them again and again...
