Architecture inspired by nature.

Much of my photography work is architectural. I live outside of Chicago and Chicago's architectural history is renowned, particularly for its pioneering role in the development of the skyscraper and the Chicago School of architecture.

I also love nature. My personal work leans toward trees, leaves and interesting compositions I find in nature. Using nature to find patterns, lines and shapes helps me look for the same when photographing architecture.

How many buildings can you think of that reflect something in nature?
