[Leica] Victorian House in Churubusco

[Christopher Crawford]

Yep, I know how to photograph architecture :D

I was centered, but the house's parts are really misaligned. This is actually quite common. Strange, because the house is large and highly decorated, which indicates it was built for someone relatively wealthy. You'd think that for the money it cost to build it, they could have designed it more carefully?

    No, if you look at the columns and other features of the portico and steps, it’s clear that Chris was standing dead-center. The door is offset well to the right and, strangely, the second floor is, too – but by a lesser amount! None of the three elements lines up with either of the others. Very odd.
