Architectural Detail Photo Challenge

Have you checked out the Take-Out Photo blog yet? If you love Paris, now would be a perfect time to check in.

What's it called when you feel homesick for a place that's not really your home? That's how I feel when I see photos of Paris, especially all those little details!

There's a monthly photography challenge on Take-Out photo that I've wanted to participate in. Last month, I got stuck. But this time, with the theme being Architectural Detail, all I had to do was go through the photos I took in New York. I often find myself taking photos of architectural details, even more than of people. Since today is the big release of the new iPhone 3G, I thought this photo was appropriate:


Even though the Apple logo is backwards in this photo, as Jordan pointed out to me (and it's becuase we were standing on the back side of the store), I loved the juxtaposition of the modern building against the old building. Especially since you're looking right through the glass of the Apple Store.

Here's another view of the 5th Avenue Apple Store, and some campers awaiting the new gadget.

Sometime (soon) I'll assemble a bunch of architectural photos in a grid. Wish me luck.
