I hate flat-topped structures and large blank walls. With the exception of some works like our Calatrava addition to the Milwaukee Art Museum, I feel architecture has gone downhill since the Art Deco phase. -- Alan Alan Magayne-Roshak, Senior Photographer University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Photo Services (Retired) UPAA Photographer of the Year 1978 UPAA Master of the Profession 2014 amr3 at uwm.edu http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/ "All the technique in the world doesn't compensate for an inability to notice.
