For the past couple of weeks I have been packing my things preparing to move to a new home. While cleaning out one of my drawers I came across an old tin type I must have picked up years ago and forgotten about. I was amazing how this hundred plus year old image was so unaffected by time, true archival quality far beyond what we can print today. How many of our images will people be looking at a century from now?
This architectural photograph has the feeling of an old and preserved print. Not quite a tin type but a nice quality just the same. The graphics are nice but without the manipulation the image would be a record shot of the structure. I like the way the photo-artist has softened the image around the outer edges giving this the look of inserted wood cut prints I have seen in antique books from the 19th century.
The photographer has used the computer to take an ordinary shot of an interesting subject and make it into a delightful composition. The end result fits the subject matter extremely well.

Thanks, for the nice comments. This technique
on canvas works well with archtectural
photographs and I am happy to share this
with those who have my passion.

A very beautiful rendering of a beautiful scene. It would make wonderful gift cards! Is it me, or is the image ever so slightly off horizontal; it looks like it tips down to the right.
