The original São Paulo Cathedral started in 1589 and was finished in 1616. A new one was built in its place in the Barogue style and finished in 1764. It was in turn also demolished and the present day cathedral was started in 1913 and was finished in 1954.

The architect for the modern day cathedral was Maximilian Emil Hehl and the new design was a Neo-Gothic style of architecture.The cathedral is the largest church in Brazil and has a capacity for 8,000 people.

The Mayo Hotel in Tulsa Oklahoma.

In the early 1900’s, two brothers created an icon for the Tulsa skyline. Cass A. Mayo and John D. Mayo created their vision for a first class hotel in downtown Tulsa. It represents a classic era of Art Deco Architecture which can be found in numerous areas around Tulsa.

In 1980, the Mayo Hotel was listed in the register of historic places after it was abandoned for over 20 years. The Snyder family purchased the building and brought it back to life in 2001.

What had originally been marked as a back up location for my photo shoots, Seal Rock turned out to be one of the highlights of the trip along the Oregon Coast. I meet up with two other local photography friends in Yachats Oregon just south of Seal Rock. It was fairly centrally located between areas we wanted to reach from Florence to Cape Kiwanda.

Our first sunset shot at Seal Rock turned out great. We had some interesting clouds to work with and ended up coming back a second night after getting kicked out of Yaquina Head Lighthouse which closes at 7pm. The will ruin a sunset planned shoot for anyone not knowing about this. We drove very quickly back to Seal Rock after this let down and made it just in time for the last bit of light.

Seal Rock State Wayside has large off-shore rock formations which are the habitat of seals, sea lions, sea birds and other marine life. The wayside includes interesting tide pools as well as excellent ocean views and a sandy beach. Seal Rock is a small seaside village encompassing a five mile stretch along Oregon’s scenic Pacific Coast Highway. It sits between Newport and Waldron Oregon.  It’s not as crowded as other tourist spots, which makes it ideal for photographers to enjoy the solitude and not have to worry too much about people getting in the way of their shots.

The place is known by three different names. The correct name is Devils Fire. Some call it Hobgoblins, and some have called it Little Finland. I will not get into why it has so many names. Just know that the correct name for this location is called Devils Fire.

The location is south of Mesquite Nevada and will take you about two hours to get to the spot for you to start hiking. The ridge faces the west, but that does not mean it has to be a sunset shot, early morning light hitting the clouds behind the formations would really interest me more.

I happen to get here just in front of the winter storm that hit across the country around Christmas. My intent was to stay here over night and shoot not only sunset but sun rise and do some night time photography. It started clouding up pretty bad and I got a few peaks between the clouds. But my gut was telling me to move on and get out. I really had no idea of the impending snow storm that was coming up on me. I actually left here and went on to Bryce Canyon and got stuck there a few days. But better there than here.

There is quiet a bit of off roading for you to be able to get here. Nothing too extreme, but you will need high clearance and 4WD to get through some deep sand in some spots. I have included GPS coordinates on the photo gallery page of y website. Click here to view them.

The area is very fragile. And I can understand why a lot of people do not want this location getting out. But if everyone kept there locations a secret, then most of them would stay unknown. Plus I think it helps the photography community as a whole when more people can go and see these remote areas. So if you decide to venture out this way, please do not touch the rock formations. You can already see a lot of damage to the area, be it from other people or just natural erosion.

The new black and white photo gallery has been created and is now live.
