NOTE: Crossroads was nominated to the Pay It Forward group by Geoff Coleman and here is what he had to say:
“There is an effortless grace and perfection in Julian Escardo’s architectural compositions that make him, by far and away, the best photographer of line and form I’ve come across anywhere. It’s a rare thing for an artist to add value to another artist’s work but that is what Julian does in his images of architect Frank Gehry’s buildings such as Crossroads.”
I am grateful for this as I am to be your contact Geoff – I also am (and have been for some time) a keen enthusiast of your work, thank you!
Crossroads... belongs to the following groups:
Body of Work, Escher and Perspective Art , Pay It Forward and United StatesAvailable for sale as Matted Prints, Laminated Prints and Framed Prints

Marguerite Foxon
I think this is my favorite of all your portfolio. You have a wonderful way of capturing the heart of the architecture, the spirit of the place. Your photos are focused on flowing lines rather than sharp angles even when they are in the photo. I LOVE your stuff!!
Julian Escardo
Thank you all and thank you Marguerite – what a great comment and visit! Crossroads happens to be one of my favorite shots – and thank you for capturing what I do, the spirit of the place and the message of the architect and very important to me when I photograph buildings.

Wayne Pearson
Julian I have just read your interview, I found it very interesting , and I wasn’t surprised by anything that you said about yourself. By viewing someones work like yours the viewer gains a sence of the person, the “inner person” if you like, and it is good to have an even closer look at this creative and infinite potential just waiting to express itself. As I have said before it is so good to be moved and inspired by people such as you, who also love to share their knowlege and skill.
Cheers,
Wayne
Julian Escardo in reply to Wayne Pearson’s comment
Thanks Wayne! – your comment has made my day – to cause some sort of emotion is one of my goals, to bring forth even the tiniest bit of inspiration in others the second. I am glad you stopped by and took the time to elaborate based on what you saw.
Brian Carey

Julian Escardo in reply to Annemie Hiele’s comment
Thank you for visiting Annemie….yes, I love the confluence of it all – but the steps are central to this composition.
