While on a trip to Norway in 2019, we spent the first few days wandering around the great city of Oslo. There were a bunch of spots I knew I wanted to check out, but perhaps my favorite image I captured in the city was this random staircase I came across while my better half was getting some coffee. I love the colors and how the lines and textures came together in this architectural masterpiece.

Keeping with the theme of finding something interesting while walking around a city, these pairs of windows on a main street in Boston stood out to me as I passed them. My best friend and I were making our way through the city and this frame caught my eye. I worked the frame for a few minutes to figure out how much of the building to include and this was the best shot from that moment. It was only later in editing when I noticed things like the cat in the upper right, the similar features in the top left and bottom right and the plant in the bottom left. I was initially drawn to this capture because of the different colored stones, but I find something new to appreciate nearly every time I look at this image.

While in Seattle in 2018, we stopped at the Pop Culture museum. This was the entrance leading up to an exhibit on Pearl Jam. As soon as I stepped into this room I was hooked and stayed there for a bit to make sure I got all kinds of different angles. Thankfully I had a tripod with me to aid in capturing this fairly dark scene.

Truly, this is one of my favorite images. I always say that it is not too much of a challenge to visit an already stunning location like a national park or major city and find interesting shots. I love this because like the others in this edition, I was simply not expecting to find this shot. I was by myself simply wandering the streets of Cambridge and this frame stopped me in my tracks. I loved the shadows, pops of color and the symmetry.
