If you (and Denny) haven’t already, I think it’s time you began to develop a portfolio of your architectural work. Aside from selling your services as an arch-shooter, it’ll serve a couple other primary purposes.
First, by reviewing every arch-image you’ve shot, it provides a great opportunity to view your work as a whole, which can reveal your strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities … do you shoot a particular format too often, or just often enough (e.g., symmetry v. asymmetry)… does a particular color theme seem to attract you, what kind of architecture do you feel is missing from your work, etc.
Second, an actual portfolio (a real-world book, or online) tends to set the idea of your turning professional in place. This blog has been a great showcase, but it includes all your work and other people’s. It’s not anywhere near a portfolio. The same with your private photoblog. There’s too much other stuff there.
Well said, and I’m grateful. But for me, right now, this is much-needed therapy. I’m just not in a place where I wish to dive in much more deeply. That day will come, but not tomorrow.
Denver may be considered as one of those numerous USA-cities (13 in a dozen) and not even the capital of Colorado but there are not many places in the USA with such an abundance of ‘Haute Architecture’. Love your pictures!!!

Just something to think about.

Oh, and who are the Angels that this is the home of?
East High.
