The new office Fri, 02 May 2008 00:26:27 UTC

I'm really enjoying my new job. Not only the job itself but it's a whole new neighborhood for me to get out and shoot. It's just chock full of old brick buildings and wonderful architectural touches that you just don't see on buildings anymore.

It was a rough start to the week though. All those lovely buildings and nothing but rain, rain and more rain. Finally I was able to get out and about with the camera. It was dazzling. So many buildings, so many little vignettes, so many details just screaming for me to point my lens at. I spent a good 15 minutes out there and frankly, I never left the parking lot and I could have used another day or so of solid shooting to cover all the little things I'm dying to photograph.

Without further ado, here are some of the shots I took.

So. Have you recognized the building? Here's a hint. It's on Hampden Street in Springfield.

Still not enough of a hint?

Ok, then, click here and the new job will be revealed.
