Nestled in the mist of downtown Mount Vernon, Ohio Ariel Hall is home to Central Ohio Technical College. This Facility is state of the art and features several unique design and architectural elements which mimic COTC’s approach to education. COTC is the only technical college in Ohio with four full-service campus locations and has been a charter since 1971. Below are a few additional interior and exterior architectural photographs that capture the facility from different perspectives including the Mortellaro McDonald’s Learning Resource Center.

The Wolfe Center | Bowling Green State University
Bowling Green State University’s new center for the arts is one of several new state of the art facilities on campus. The Wolfe Center features several unique architectural qualities that set it apart. From the centrally located theater to the open lobby, lounge areas, and student learning rooms this facility is as cool as it looks. I hope my architectural photography captures the the quality elements that sets this facility apart.

Keeping Busy with my architectural photography. Thanks to Korda Engineering for their continued support and business. I look forward to many more opportunities with Korda and my never ending pursuit to provide quality images worthy of their business. These images are a few of the architectural + design photographs that I shot of the Franklin Park Conservatory. I plan to share others from the conservator, John E Wolf Palm House, and the surrounding gardens and community space. Enjoy!

COSI | Korda Project
COSI, one of the more difficult buildings to photograph. Located on the bank of the Scioto river in downtown Columbus, Ohio this structure is very long and surrounded by trees, busy street, and other buildings. What a beautiful facility and great use of space. Hopefully my architectural photography provides a quality representation of the creative design and finished product.

Creative Commons Licensing | Awareness
Unfortunately, the increased need for content in today’s market place has also increased the commonality of copyright infringement. Many companies, organizations, blogs, and individuals are in need of images to market and promote. Typically images or copy are secured the proper way through licensing agreements, however, some are not. My intent with this blog post is to show examples of how some of my architectural photography has been used illegally, and to shed light on alternatives like Creative Commons Licensing.
The Image above is a screen shot from AIGA’s web page. AIGA used my image of the Christian Moerlein Lager House to promote an event for Christian Moerlein. This image was taken from the web, stripped of all it’s copyright information and then rebranded by AIGA. This, my friends, is illegal on multiple levels. One, you cannot remove copyright info from the image file, two you cannot alter the image in anyway, and three you can not use the image for commercial use if you do not have authority from the creator. Plus, AIGA did not mention me as the creator or add a link to my page. The real kicker is that AIGA is an organization that supposedly promotes the importance of creativity, trying to bring validity to the work performed by the creative community. I’m not sure their following through!
Now here is a link to a blog site called UrbanCincy. Notice the difference; One, if you could see the file info my copyright and contact info is still there. Two, urbancincy did not add their logo to the image, and three, this post was not for commercial use that resulted in profit. Travis, Also listed me as the photographer and provided a link to my page. The kicker here is that I did not give authority to use this image either. However, Travis in the spirit of Creative Commons provided the proper information and links to my information.
So, as a photographer what should you do? You would hope that you’d receive cooperation and promote payment for the injustice that was done. If not, here are a couple links that may help you solve your issue. There are several more online. Good luck.
