Shutter Mike Photography

When I first sent one of my Stonehenge photographs out to people I got a reply that it looked just like the Microsoft desktop wallpaper.  A point I could not argue with necessarily.  Some subjects have been photographed so much by so many people it seems near impossible to come up with a new angle.  Stonehenge is one such subject.  But I tried my best and it is well worth the trip out there to see and photograph it if you are in the UK.

Spot Light

The dome that covers the Pantheon in Rome has a hole in the middle (an oculus) that allows daylight (as well as rain) to stream in to the floor 142 feet below.  The Pantheon maintains its right to the status as the world’s largest unreinforced concrete dome 2000 years after it was constructed.  It is a spectacular building and architectural wonder.

Built in 1932 by Giuseppe Momo, this spiral staircase serves as the main exit out of the Vatican Museum.  It starts out as a ramp and gradually transforms into steps and makes a dramatic exit from a dramatic collection of art.

The End of Summer

Although summer technically already ended, in Arizona it tends to linger on for a while.  The days are still in the 100s even though the calendar says Fall.  But the end is in site.
