Travel

Looking at buildings abroad too: a museum in New York, a staircase in the Vatican, the gardens of Aranjuez and Versailles, a temple in Egypt.

When I travel, the buildings decide the route. The aim is to see at first hand the architecture studied in books and at school, and the photograph is my way of understanding it: where I stood, what I left out of the frame.

I look for geometry: the spiral of the Guggenheim ramp, the helical staircase of the Vatican Museums, the long axes of the gardens of Versailles and Aranjuez, the rhythm of a temple's columns. Often in black and white, when form is what matters.
