Square collection of beautiful photos
Artist's Comments
I have always been attracted to architecture. The Scientist in me loves the use of compression/tension, gravity, base, mathematical elegance, while the Artist in me loves the culminating marriage between the aesthetic presentation and the science that goes into structures. I picked up photography as an official hobby a little over two years go, and even though constructions are a passion of mine, I kept mainly to inanimate objects because my early architecural photographs were flat out awkward and plain; I didn't trust myself enough to just let loose and present to the world what I saw, what made this edifice so inviting. The Spanish architect, Santiago Calatrava (the Unofficial Site is also great), has intriguing designs, and when I discovered his commission for the Milwaukee Art Museum, I fell in love and found my inspiration for architectural photography. I found myself so taken with his imagination as I explored the complex, I felt myself just let go.... It helped me find my own true meaning of photography which I believe was my greatest jumpstart for a certain photographical and presentational core that has carried over into my works now. So here is the piece that changed my direction. I give you "Calatrava", previously "Under the Wings."

Nothing will be the same
Same as you and me (you and me)

Everything was said"

You have to take this world which you experience and translate it to a two dimensional piece of paper and make it come alive again to somebody that has never experienced it before. - Rodney Smith, photographer

"It is our choices that choose our life. We can blame it on no one except ourselves. Where we go, what we ate, who we choose to have relations with, these our the choices that decide our life. So be careful with your choices. They are all you have."
