Brick Row

This wall caught my eye as a background when I was working outside in Burlingame, California.

It wasn’t until I was in the post-production phase of the session that I noticed the intricacies of the brickwork.

Unless you’ve laid a course of bricks, it’s impossible to grasp the magnificence of this wall. My single attempt at this kind of work had a predictable outcome. I was barely qualified to clean up after the tradesmen.

That failed experiment gave me a great appreciation for the craft.

Creating uniformity is a lot harder than it looks.
