My last couple of
posts were photos of a close-up of a gable. My fascination with gables goes a way back. One of my first series of photographs were of these Victorian structures. For all its metropolitanism, Toronto still has a Victorian town feel to it. Many residential areas still have town houses with gable structures. Some are elaborate, others simple yet still attractive.
Below are images from my October 2010 blog post on how a mundane photo of a town house (I took the picture to record different gable patterns)
evolved into a design.
