📷 Tonight I took 60 shots at an abandoned factory, but the results weren't what I expected. Just one shot I likelike, and I posted it —"Offices."

After a break, I took another look and had this thought: "Maybe a pretty picture isn't the goal tonight."

What then?

My new pictures are all shot on sacred land they were driven from, large parts of which are paved over.

I've nicked 's in other posts. That's what it is—"America."

"Parking is a mutant strain of yeast in the dough of architecture, making our designs bigger, uglier, and further apart".

I'm only a couple of pages into this book (a gift from a client who knows me too well!) and it's already throwing up some very quotable passages.
