Piece description from the artist
The Capitol Records Building – Hollywood
Located at the famed intersection of Hollywood and Vine, this 13-story tower was completed in 1956 and quickly became an iconic landmark of the Hollywood Boulevard. Designed and constructed as the world's first circular office building by 24yo recent graduate Lou Naidorf. The similarity to a stack of records on a turntable is strictly coincidental, as the architect did not know the name of the client. The blinking red light at the top of the spire spells out the word "Hollywood" in Morse code, bringing notoriety to the first record label to have a base on the west coast.
Ashland grew up in Southeast Virginia surrounded by lush rural landscapes, great protected swamp lands, national & state parks, the Chesapeake Bay, the Eastern Shore, the breathtaking Skyline Drive & Blue Ridge Mountains, and the inlets & oceans of Virginia & North Carolina.
It was this constant variation in natural beauty that first drew his eye to the camera; that, and the constant joy of capturing life's candid moments on film. Although no particular subject is banned from the lens of Ashland's camera, it is landscapes, cityscapes, wildlife, and nature that truly captures his heart.
"There's always more to see, more to learn, more to be wowed about-I just hope you enjoy what I see in the world."
A constant staple on the likes of Instagram, Flickr, and Facebook, Ashland currently resides in Chicago, Illinois, and looks forward to many more years of development, collaboration, creativity, world travel, and art.
