No bunkem hopefully?
Thanks for your explanation - the first image makes more sense now.
I assumed you were doing a series on churches. I was a bit confused. So, yes the architects have achieved their purpose. It certainly looks like a hotel or convention centre etc.
Yes, true heresy (although unintentional). I probably offended the architects and those with religious views by calling a hotel a church - ouch!!
"Modern" and "bland" were meant in context to the "old' Abbey, which I feel has a much more interesting appeal. I could spend a week (or longer) at the Abbey photographing it. Whilst I could also spend a week at the hotel, I don't think the images would be as interesting - maybe more entertaining
I feel the hotel would benefit from more dramatic lighting, maybe a twilight shoot, which would allow us to "see inside" and also enhance the sky. As more people tend to go to a hotel after work or for dinner, enjoyment etc, an image taken at that time of day may have more subconscious appeal and recognition. Also a wider view to put the building in context to its surroundings.
I look forward to seeing more.
