The link between architectural photography and archaeology in my work is rather personal. It has more to do with the experiences that can shape one's aesthetic vision, and less with a conscious underlying theoretical framework. A framework still exists of course, as does a particular mode of looking at structures and surface materiality that stems directly from the skill-set acquired through archaeological research.
The scale of archaeological photography varies from the small object, to the underground mural, up to the full-fledged excavation site documentation. While the small scale developed by material observation qualities, it was during my long involvement in the last type of photographic project that I put together a visual vocabulary; one that reads structures as components of a site, or landscape.
