Florida Polytechnic University
I recently started to do some architectural photography. Finding an interesting build can be a challenge and then hoping for the right light when on location is always a concern. I made the first image last September in Las Vegas. It was located on a busy street with lots of traffic nearby. The building had trees and other vegetation planted around the structure. The second image of Florida Polytechnic University I made this week. In contrast it was a very quiet campus with classes out of session for the summer. The Florida summer clouds made for a nice backdrop. Now for the heartbreak. I was working on my photography a couple of days ago when one of our daily violent summer thunderstorms came rolling in. I usually run to the computer and shut down all my devices and unplug from the UPS backups. The next morning I fired up my computer and my couple of external hard drives only to find several folder completely gone from my external hard drives and other images gone from within folders that remained. These two images are just a couple that no longer exist. I have searched and for days and there is nothing to find. How this can happen is unknown to me. I try to backup as much as possible but for some reason all the digital devils struck and took away some of my best images I have worked so hard on. It is a mystery and the lost is devastating because now I only have a few jpeg images to haunt me of what I had.
