About the Image(s)

Living near a large old city allows me to take unique architectural photographs. I am particularly interested in new construction adjacent to old structures. I have been photographing many of these buildings when I happen to come across them. This is in downtown Cleveland, adjacent to the Cuyahoga River. The old brick building on the right was a warehouse built in 1917 and has been abandoned for years. The condominiums close on the left were recently built and are a very expensive place to live. I like the contrast of the buildings for their age, style, and proximity. What I find interesting about the location, is why would anyone want to live next to an abandoned building. I removed some of the hanging wires in Lightroom and used Topaz AI to sharpen the image.

Jay, a wonderful architectural cityscape image with fantastic contrasts of facing and stonework. There's also the contrasts between oldest, older, and modern within the image. You might also want to play with this in b&w, as it offers wide tonal contrasts in the format. This image is just wonderful for contrasts as there is also vertical and lateral, square and rectangular. You did a superb job of the cleanup too!   Posted: 03/16/2025 17:39:44
