I had the opportunity to tour the spacious McNally building yesterday and take some photos of the really cool interior. The building which has been vacant for a decade is being purchased by CDL Electric. I am glad to see this place coming back to life. As I wandered around looking for photo opportunities I could almost feel the energy from all the work that has taken place there over the years. The first photo is also a good example of what I have mentioned about the self assignments I have given myself to help me see the details. I noticed lots of leading lines from the beams and windows and a variety of different types of light both warm and cool to use to compose that photo, which helps show the depth of the place. It is huge and I felt really insignificant standing there. It is a very cool place to take photos. I have added a link to the story written by Andrew Nash.
