Of Cleveland's architecture, the Plain Dealer said, "It's not just one style around town. From the downtown's Federal Reserve Bank and classic churches to the Frank Gehry-designed Peter B. Lewis Building at Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland isn't a bad-looking place."
My first venture into The Cleveland Project also brought the project’s first lesson: if you’re photographing architecture, put something more than a 50mm lens in your camera bag. Of course, by the time this occurred to me, I was already downtown. It worked out okay, though, because instead of sweeping panoramas of familiar landmarks, I had to limit myself to the details -- and boy, are there details. The thing that made the biggest impression is just how much beauty Cleveland has going on above street level, hiding in plain sight.
