Art I would love to own:

David Stephenson Domes 1993-2003
Julie Saul Gallery

When I first saw these photographs, they were arranged in a grid.  From the distance, they seemed to be an arrangement of beautifully elaborate Spirographs.  It took me a minute to realize they were detailed interior shots of gorgeous domes from architecture all over Europe.  David Stephenson is an Australian based photographer who has spent a decade of his career photographing churches, palaces, mosques and synagogues in countries – including Italy, France, Spain, Germany, Austria and Turkey.  They are all shot straight up and symmetrically with long exposures allowing ordinarily dark spaces to shine in brilliant detail.  I am seriously obsessed with these images.
