I mean:
The images are so great, of so great quality, so coherent, that I am speechless and no comments are needed !
It is indeed an excellent work deserving an exhibit !

Michael,

What Antonio, Nicolas, I, and Others are telling you is that this is the only kind of commentary you are going to get. We all love your imagery.

We love the clarity, crispness, and tone. We love the composition, subject matter, and feeling that all this creates. We love the symmetry when it's present...and when it's not.

Speaking for myself, this is one of the most consistent, compelling, inspiring, bodies of work I have ever seen.

I don't post often on this forum but I am here every day.

Keep 'em comin'...please.

Antonio, Nicolas, Winston,

Thank you! The passion for this started with an occasion to shoot in the Underground with tripod - as this was unusual I gave it a try and saw underground stations with a different eye from that moment. First I saw it as an opportunity to shoot when the weather outside was too bad, now this has become one of my passions.

Architecture is something that fascinates me for several reasons:
First there are shapes, lines. colours, and textures.
Second - it is man-made and in general intended for humans, so human presence, directly or the traces add.
Third - it is always an expression of the time where it was planned and built, a snapshot of human history.

Right now I have developed an interest for brutalist architecture. This style was only short-lived and is not that popular, but a very interesting sight. Currently I only identified two buildings in that style in Munich. I will have to see these.

I will carry on with this series.

Best regards,
Michael
