Black & White Tulsa


For todays post I will put clothing aside and discuss a different sort of style. Tulsa is known for it's architecture....Art Deco architecture to be specific. Art Deco was just gaining popularity about the time Tulsa hit it's oil money boom of the 20's. To this day Tulsa remains a  prominent destination for Art Deco enthusiasts. 

 I only scratched the surface of the stunning sights in downtown Tulsa. Most are examples of Art Deco but not all.  My current photography goal is composition. For that reason I have the buildings in only black and white. And as a bonus I think it helps you can focus more on the architecture.
Enjoy!

Arnies. Not so much architectural but a fine sight in downtown. 



The Blue Dome (well looks more gray here) is not Art Deco, but still quite unusual. Originally built as a gas station in 1912 this building was given it's "blue dome" out of whimsy to attract customers.

I would love to hear your comments and suggestions! Thanks for stopping by.
