Modern Pyramid
$1,100.00
In 1981, French President François Mitterrand unveiled plans to build a new entrance to the Louvre Museum, commissioning I. M. Pei to create a modern structure that would complement the historic surroundings. The result was the glass pyramid, a bold statement of contemporary architecture at the heart of one of the world's most famous museums. Standing in the courtyard of the Louvre, the pyramid offers a striking contrast to the classical buildings that surround it.
When photographing the pyramid, my goal was to capture its jewel-like glow at twilight, a time of day that lends a magical quality to the structure. The soft twilight light enhances the transparency of the glass, allowing the pyramid to stand out while remaining in harmony with the historic architecture. The photograph highlights the dialogue between the old and the new, showing how the two can coexist in one of the most visited cultural landmarks.
The bold lines and symmetry of the image enhance the visual impact, leading the viewer's eye directly into the scene. The geometric patterns of the pyramid, combined with the surrounding classical architecture, create a striking visual balance that celebrates both tradition and modernity. This image will add a refined and elegant statement to any residential or corporate interior, making it a perfect centerpiece.

Ada Covered Bridge in Cheer
The Ada Covered Bridge, also known as the "Bradfield Bridge," is a charming historic structure located in Ada, Michigan. Built in 1867, this 125-foot-long bridge spans the Thornapple River and is one of the few remaining covered bridges in the state. Its unique construction and picturesque surroundings make it a beloved landmark, especially during the winter months when snow blankets the landscape and holiday lights enhance its nostalgic beauty.
While visiting Grand Rapids, Michigan, where I grew up, I stumbled upon the Ada Covered Bridge shortly after a snowfall just before Christmas. To my surprise, the bridge was illuminated with festive Christmas lights, creating a magical scene. I captured the image, which became a personal favorite. One of my close friends admired the photograph so much that they displayed it above their fireplace mantel. Every time I see it in their home, I can’t help but smile, remembering that special moment.
