Brian Vanden Brink
Brian is an architectural photographer and
his work is serene and beautiful
If you have an interest in architecture and photography
this book will surely inspire you.
It is a compilation of abandoned and forgotten structures
photographed in both color and black and white.
These photos remind us of the beauty of the past
and the need to appreciate, restore and save our historic buildings
You probably have viewed many of his photos in various other publications and books such as Coastal Living and Architectural Digest
If you have a blog or like to dabble with photography...take a peek at his portfolio...here
Brians work is very understated and he makes it look
so simple
I love how the house is framed by the roses in the front
Are you inspired yet?
I am!

YES! How could you not be inspired?
ReplyDeletethis is floating my boat .... grew up in a rural community such as these images ...

hi kelley,
ReplyDeletehard not to be inspired. and he does make it look so easy, b/c it ain't.
my red house is starting to grow on me b/c of images such as his.

Kelly- What a beautiful photo journey. It makes my heart ache to see some of these old buildings falling to the ravages of time and the elements. He is truly an artist.
ReplyDeleteI thought Artie did a very nice little write up on you yesterday. Blessings- Diana
Yes Artie is a person whom I admire much and blessings to you too Diana.
ReplyDeleteHi Janet, I did not know you were thinking of repainting?
This is such a great book, you will love it...xx kelley
My husband showed me his website awhile ago, knowing how much I love architecture. That's great that he's coming out with a book. It should be a new American classic!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely!!!
ReplyDeleteI must see if I can get that book here! Thanks for showing the photo's, all beautiful in their own way and brings home how important it is to preserve. Oh before I go, great article by Artie yesterday!!
Take care

i ALWAYS come to you for inspiration! thanks for sharing this beautiful book!
ReplyDeleteI adore his work....brilliant!
ReplyDeleteI need to get this book...
Excellent.
ReplyDeleteI just finished a class called "history of furniture and architecture part II" (took part 1 last summer!) and it made me wonder how the boring- cookie cutter architecture of now would be described in future class. The past held so much more interest - whether one likes it or not you can't deny that it is more interesting than the new homebuilding of today.
Totally inspired!!! Thanks for sharing...
