Exploring Shapes and Colors in Seattle's Central Library

I had the pleasure of exploring the Seattle Central Library on a recent summer afternoon and ended up spending a couple hours in this amazing building.

It was designed by Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas and it’s asymmetrical shape, unlike any other building in Seattle, is the result of its use of overlapping platforms and clusters to reflect the varied uses of the library. What I enjoyed the most while exploring the multiple levels and interior spaces was the use of bold colors throughout and the way natural light was floods through the whole structure. Truly a work of art and I could’ve spent many more days observing and finding interesting compositions to photograph.

Capturing urban landscapes in Rome

The first thing I noticed about Rome was the unique light it received at sunrise and sunset. But even at high noon the light still seemed flattering on most streets of Italy’s capital city. Maybe it’s just the ancient architecture and ruins that are outstanding to witness at any time of day.

While prowling the streets for the first time it was pretty clear to me that my short stay would not be enough to fully explore it all, but the below images are my first attempts at capturing some of the magic I encountered between my gelato searching expeditions.
