Calm Photos

During the middle of this past week I had the opportunity to travel to Cleveland for a photography assignment, shooting an architectural design project for both editorial and advertising use by one of my newer clients.

I had previously been to Cleveland a number of times, but now I was returning with strictly a photographer’s eye.

And here’s a little secret I would like to pass on to those who have never been or to those who may have a preconceived notion of Cleveland as colorless and industrial. Cleveland is a beautiful city. Not only is there a richness in the architectural design of its’ many downtown buildings, Cleveland is a very walkable city with most of the main attractions being within a few square blocks of the downtown waterfront - Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Great Lake Science Center, Cleveland Browns Stadium, Jacobs Field, fine hotels and a whole host of dining and entertainment venues.

Cleveland has also done an admirable job of establishing and caring for a very nice green space within the middle of the city, a city that is surprisingly cosmopolitan for good ol’ Ohio, with easy and safe pedestrian access directly to the waterfront attractions on Lake Erie.

Although I didn’t have the best of weather, I did enjoy capturing just a few photographs of the downtown park and surrounding scenes.

If you’re thinking of great weekend vacation spot, I highly suggest Cleveland.
