These eye candies are all from Cleveland.

Task: Capture an image containing either a cube or square.

Honestly, square is not the most inspiring subject. However, I was surprised at some of the "gems" the city has to offer. The clock as a downtown landmark is not too exciting, but framing the image in a symmetrical composition has its own challenges. The second photo is a building interior. It is currently used as a supermarket. Sorry, but I do not own a wide-enough lens. I used my 28mm Elmarit, but it was not adequate. The last image is the most interesting. The edifice is a converted building facade, built in 1971 as an office tower. Currently, it is used as a residential and hotel complex. You really have to look for it to find beauty in it, but once you process the picture, the image does have certain captivating qualities visually.

Andrew Tabak - Great information. Thank you! These small trivial details what makes photography so real. You see a visual impression, and you can discover an entire world. I am so happy that you shared with me your knowledge.

Frank Gerlak - Much controversy on the last photo. Now known as the Nine (for E 9th Street, it is a Marcel Breuer design fot the Cleveland Trust Co in 1968. Only half of the building was built. Abandoned years ago and full of aesbestos, it was a candidate for demolition. But the right forces came together and renovated the building into a hotel and apartment building. This forced the upgrade of the rotunda into the Heinens grocery store. A win win for Cleveland! I used to do my banking there.
