A Perspective

This picture was taken on a job site in downtown Detroit. I am not sure why but I have always liked these type of pictures. I think it may be because it reminds me of my architectural drawing classes where we did perspective drawings of buildings. That was back in the days before computer aided drafting (CAD). Drawings then were done by hand by picking vanishing points and drawing lines out to the vanishing points to simulate the sloping lines of a building. Then you had to plot the perpendicular lines. Finally you can poche, add in all the little details such as the grandular detail on the brick work. It was a very laborious process but very effective. To hand draw this picture would take hours. Now with CAD it takes less than a second. But I find the hand drawn method more rewarding. It has been years since I drew….Where is my old 'T' square and triangles? I wonder if I still can do it? UMMM
