"Although I have never been an official vacationer in Aspen, my profession as an architect has brought me to the Colorado town for projects in summer, fall, winter, and spring. As an obsessive amateur photographer of people and places that move me, I found myself taking the same pictures of Aspen in autumn year after year. But the images always ended up resembling Hallmark cards, so generic was the brilliant beauty of the foliage, and they did not represent the breadth and cumulative dreamlike impression that stays with me. Determined to find a way in which the static could become dynamic and the literal abstract, I left my Leica M6's shutter open for a few seconds while hiking the trails and driving through the mountain passes. The result, to me, better captures the impression of the season in context. Though technically naive, the images somehow seem to embody the notion of the season as an enriched period of transition that heralds the snow to come.\n\nClick here for my photos of [Aspen's magnificent foliage.\n\n](/blogs/architects-eye/2013/10/aspen-colorado-fall-foliage-leaves-leica-photography-slideshow)\n\nMore on archdigest.com:\n\n Tour Oscar Niemeyer's spectacular capital city of Brasilia, photographed by Lee F.
