As I begin to explore my new home of Albany, NY, I found it beneficial to start looking at it in a creative way. So on my first free day I decided to take to downtown Albany with my camera and see what there is to offer. The world I found was a split one between stark, modern buildings for the state capital and rich historic architecture of a time gone by.
Being a city built around government, the streets were mostly empty on the weekends as workers flee to their homes for relaxation, giving the city a bit of an eerie feeling. But as I wandered I found some truly beautiful views of this clash of architectural styles. This short video is my way of capturing the feelings the streets gave me that day.
