Sunrise in Spokane

Posted on December 15, 2017

This image is part of a collection of work I exhibited at the Paulsen Building Penthouse. For that exhibit I focused my attention on ways I could photograph Spokane Landmarks in a graphical and expressive way. Like most creatives, I needed the pressure of a deadline to drag me out of bed at 4am on a spring morning. With only a week to go before the exhibit I spent a beautiful early morning downtown wandering around as the sun rose. I made this image and new it was an instant portfolio piece. I ended up having this made into a 20×30 print on aluminum.
