Neoclassical Architecture

This wonderful example of Neoclassical architecture was photographed in the Law Quad on the campus of the University of Michigan, in Ann Arbor. You can find prints available in my gallery. Thanks for visiting!

Mysterious Building
An elaborate configuration in excess of fundamental structural supports, this intricate work in hues of blue with texture may be the work of an architectural madman; the inner chamber of a pyramid; or, perhaps a symmetrical mirror image created using a camera and creative software. Whatever the case, you can view many items featuring this mysterious building when you visit these shops:
- Pixels
- Redbubble
- ArtPal
- Zazzle

A Few Site Changes

Portfolio

Following my post entitled Revised Portfolio Design, I’ve once again modified my portfolio category pages, each now utilizing the Masonry Block. This provides a cleaner and more uniform display per category, but does require that each page be manually (not automatically) updated.

Navigation

Following contact with support staff at WordPress, I added custom CSS to set my primary menu in a fixed position (on desktop viewing), instead of scrolling – similar to a sticky post. Now, it’s always visible for quick access.

Header

Next, I changed the color of my site header, which contains the (now) sticky menu, using a #F6F4EF hexadecimal color to differentiate from the #FFFFFF (white) body. Also, to save space, I used CSS to reduce the header height.

Miscellaneous

Having modified the header, I then added spacer blocks to the top of various pages, and also through Full Site Editing into the Archive template. This was done to correct for titles appearing too close to the newly delineated header.
