South Mountain Community College Library

Written by Ryan on January 27th, 2012

Today I went out and shot some photos of buildings at South Mountain Community College, near 24th Street and Baseline in Phoenix, Arizona.  They have two very interesting buildings, their library and their performing arts center.  This photograph is of the library.  College campus’ have such wonderful architecture!

I will be posting more later this week.

This morning I thought the sky looked really dramatic so I took the short drive over to South Mountain in Phoenix, Arizona.  Here is one of the photos I shot from inside an old building.

Palm Springs

Written by Ryan on September 6th, 2011

I was driving back to Phoenix from San Diego, and the way that I like to go is take the 15 and cut through the mountains to Palm Springs and then take the 10 all the way in to Phoenix.  The drive was pretty wet throughout the mountains and I knew once I got to this outlook that the sky would make for an awesome photo.

 

Gator!

This is one of the many souviner shops in New Orleans, except this one has a huge gator display.  A lot of them had real small alligator heads you could buy, not quite sure if this one was real…

 

Lafayette Cemetery No. 1

Written by Ryan on April 9th, 2011

One of the most interesting parts of New Orleans architecturally would have to be their cemeteries.  Because the city is built right at or below sea level, they have to bury people above ground.  If you dig maybe a foot or so underground you will reach the water table.  Many of these above ground tombs contain the remains of generations of families and are still used today.  This image is of Lafayette Cemetery No. 1 in the heart of the beautiful Garden District.

 

Preservation Hall

Written by Ryan on April 1st, 2011

In mid March I took a short trip to New Orleans.  There is so much amazing food and architecture, but what New Orleans is probably best known for is its music.  Here is a photo of the famed Preservation Hall jazz club in the French Quarter.  The line for this place stretches a block down the street and people start lining up hours before the doors open, even on a Tuesday night.  Once you get inside they let you stay for one of the three forty five minute sets and once everyone has left they let the next group of people in.

New Galway Cathedral Photo

Written by Ryan on January 8th, 2011

I was going through old images to see if I looked anything over the first time around, and I found this in my collection of images I shot in Ireland last spring.  The Galway Cathedral is surprisingly not that old, it was built in the 1950′s.  There are so many different light sources, which makes for some cool colors.
