Photography | Asia

I am a complete architecture junkie. I never tire of traveling to interesting places and looking at cool new buildings. This section is a small sample of the hundreds of buildings and places I have sought out and photographed over many years. It is organized by city to make it easy to drop into Seattle or Mexico City or Sydney and check out what places might be of architectural interest.

Use the filters below to narrow results to a specific continent, country, state or city. Note: If you’re looking for a specific building, you may also try typing it into the search field within the site navigation menu.
