Two old windows with fire escape | Limited Edition of 10
Urban Architecture and Texture – Two Windows and a Fire Escape
This wall stopped me, not because it was dramatic, but because it was so exact in what it offered. Just two windows. A fire escape. And a surface that had absorbed decades of weather, wear, and repetition.
I don’t always need chaos or movement to make an image feel alive. In this case, the balance of geometry and decay pulled me in. The spacing between the windows, the diagonal tension of the railing, and the clean, unbroken brick field made everything feel more concentrated. This is urban stillness—not abandonment, not silence—just a moment of structure that held its own.
What you’re looking at is a piece of a city that most people pass without a second glance. But these are the scenes I return to. Places where design was once incidental are now made meaningful by time. There’s no flash here. No obvious focal point. But give it a few seconds, and it starts to resonate.
This image belongs in spaces that lean toward minimalism, but don’t mind a little rust in the mix. It doesn’t need to announce itself—it just quietly anchors the room.
This piece is all about line, tension, and restraint—view the full critique on Kozzi to see what makes this simple scene hold so well as a print.

Limited Edition of 10
This photograph is released as a signed and numbered limited edition of only 10 prints in total across all available sizes combined—not 10 prints in each size.
Every size is drawn from the same edition. Whether the photograph is purchased as a small print or at the largest available size, it uses one of the 10 edition numbers.
I personally sign and number each print on the reverse, and every print is accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity recording its title, dimensions, medium, edition number, and date of issue.
Once all 10 prints have been sold, the edition will be permanently closed. No additional numbered editions of the photograph will be produced in another size or format.
Premium Archival Fine Art Prints
I personally produce every photograph using archival pigment inks on premium archival paper with a subtle luster finish.
The paper provides rich tonal depth, excellent fine-detail reproduction, and a refined surface that reduces distracting glare under normal indoor lighting. It is especially well suited to both color and black-and-white photography.
Each photograph is sold as an unframed fine art print, allowing it to be framed according to the collector’s space and personal style.
Before a print leaves my studio, I carefully inspect it for color, tonal accuracy, surface quality, and overall presentation. Nothing is outsourced, and every finished print passes through my hands.
Worldwide Delivery Included
Every print is personally produced, inspected, signed, numbered, and carefully packaged by me at my studio in Haliburton, Ontario, Canada.
Worldwide delivery is included in the listed price, so there is no additional shipping charge added during checkout. I select an appropriate tracked delivery service based on the destination, print size, and current shipping requirements.
Delivery times vary by destination and may be affected by customs processing or circumstances beyond my control.
Because I also travel extensively to create new photographic work, studio dispatch may occasionally be delayed while I am away. When that happens, the print will be produced and shipped as soon as I return to the studio.
