Empty Chairs and Empty Tables
First doors and windows, now tables and chairs. I’ve started to find these latter items as interesting as the former.

Exterior Columns
A tidy row of columns lends itself to compositions that rely on symmetry. This week’s post is full of columns, but this is the only image that exploits it. It uses the converging parallels that come from looking upwards, too. I wish I had had my 14-24 zoom with me, because I think a little…
