NOTE: Crossroads was nominated to the Pay It Forward group by Geoff Coleman and here is what he had to say:

“There is an effortless grace and perfection in Julian Escardo’s architectural compositions that make him, by far and away, the best photographer of line and form I’ve come across anywhere. It’s a rare thing for an artist to add value to another artist’s work but that is what Julian does in his images of architect Frank Gehry’s buildings such as Crossroads.”

I am grateful for this as I am to be your contact Geoff – I also am (and have been for some time) a keen enthusiast of your work, thank you!

    I think this is my favorite of all your portfolio. You have a wonderful way of capturing the heart of the architecture, the spirit of the place. Your photos are focused on flowing lines rather than sharp angles even when they are in the photo. I LOVE your stuff!!

  • Wayne  Pearson

    Wayne Pearson

    Julian I have just read your interview, I found it very interesting , and I wasn’t surprised by anything that you said about yourself. By viewing someones work like yours the viewer gains a sence of the person, the “inner person” if you like, and it is good to have an even closer look at this creative and infinite potential just waiting to express itself. As I have said before it is so good to be moved and inspired by people such as you, who also love to share their knowlege and skill.
    Cheers,
    Wayne

  • Julian Escardo replied

    Thanks Wayne! – your comment has made my day – to cause some sort of emotion is one of my goals, to bring forth even the tiniest bit of inspiration in others the second. I am glad you stopped by and took the time to elaborate based on what you saw.

  • Brian Carey

    Great work Julian. And there are lesson’s for me in your compositions. I tend to want to include more and more into my images, I’m aware of that and trying to change, to change my perspective(s). You, you seem to be able to draw wonderful images out of nowhere, you have a special compositional talent my friend! Best of luck!

  • Julian Escardo replied

    Brian, thank you so much for stopping by, especially on a piece I have come to treasure. Your comment is profound and very keen – My aim is to capture and frame the essential lines of an architect’s style/language allowing the “viewer” to imagine what the whole piece would look like – in this case I worked on a Gehry building, which spoke of flow – interaction of lines/planes. In any case, imagination counts.
    Thank you again and I look forward to visiting more of your St. John’s takes and the beauty of nature’s flow, as you so well express it.
