#1 Morgan Library And Museum, New York
I have been taking photos since I was a teenager, I’m now 60. Even when I had many careers I was always taking photos of my city, New York as architecture has been my favorite subject to shoot. In 2006 I submitted my work to a German Gallery with international galleries and they were the first company to sell my work. I was a real estate agent in Manhattan selling apartments when I left that career to become a full-time travel photographer in 2013. Photography has been my only form of artistry.
#2 NY Public Library, New York
#3 Strahov Library, Prague, Czech Republic
I consider myself an explorer of the world through my photography. As I mentioned, since 2013, it is my primary source of income, so I need more inventory of photos to submit to companies and hope they carry them to sell. I also find what I do as interesting a life that I can find. I was making a very good living selling real estate in New York but I wasn’t happy. Now I find my life more enjoyable even though I don’t make the big bucks like I used to.
#4 Hendrik Conscience Heritage Library, Antwerp, Belgium
#5 Real Gabinete Library, Rio De Janeiro, Brazil
The Stuttgart Library in Germany is one of my favorites as I love symmetry and this modern, white library fits my fascination. Vienna library, Strahov library in Prague and the Red Cross library in Lisbon are amongst my favorites. Other than Stuttgart, the beauty of old-world charm using wood, gold details and colorful books makes me love li Tarifa to photograph.
#6 Saint Genevieve Library, Paris, France
#7 Austrian National Library, Vienna, Austria
It can be quite challenging to find the right spot to shoot a building. Most architecture that is popular has been photographed in every way possible but I always try and find a unique way of viewing the building. I do a series called Time Slice where I take 36 photos at sunset showing the change of day to night in one single image. It’s my way of looking at architecture in a truly new light. I love finding the places around the world when I travel and searching for new structures all the time.
