Holyoke City Hall: A few photos

Everyone is familiar with the castlesque tower and stone building that resides on High st in Holyoke, MA. A structure, an architectural masterpiece if you will, that stands out in skyline of Western MA. Frequently, when my photographs of city hall are viewed,  I am asked if it was a former church. This is not true, though it may appear as if it resembles a church, especially with the stained glass windows. It was actually built to serve as the city hall. City Councilor Aaron Vega invited me on a tour of the building this afternoon. To my surprise I saw things that need to be photographed. What I am posting here is a very minute amount of what I want to show. There will be more coming.

Holyoke's Make over: Cisco has plans

I have been following the news about "Cisco's Plans to make a city smarter" This is a fantastic idea that is going to drastically improve the city. I am a huge supporter of this project and am very anxious to see the positive changes that are going to be happening.

Valentines from Holyoke

This photograph was not edited to make it appear like this. I photographed this inside the studio just as how you see it. This is Holyoke showing some love!

Hampden st Blaze: Photos contributed

Having set up this blog I have been able to reach an audience that I am happy to share my images with. Seethebrick extends well past Holyoke and the Greater Springfield Area. This blog has allowed for people to see how I see. Now I am going to share what I was unable to share, but am happily able to now. I received an email about my photographs. Inside the email was a group of attached images from the blaze. From the images below, you can see the magnitude of the blaze. A very sad sight for an outstandingly beautiful home.

I am awaiting an email back to make the proper photo credit.
