For me, photography is not so much about capturing a fleeting moment, but capturing an image that conveys a historical sense of ongoing struggle and survival. Although our buildings are built for the utilitarian purposes of shelter or commerce, they are also monuments to ourselves, our ingenuity and our sense of style and aesthetic. They tell rich stories that reflect the social, economic and environmental forces that shaped them.
When these buildings are taken out of their everyday, often overlooked, context they stand alone, regal and beautifully revealing.
