The Art Deco Dude

Art Deco photographs I've personally taken from around the world. Feel free to link to other tumbler/ fb accounts. I'm trying to get it out there so we can all appreciate Art Deco more and hopefully preserve all of it that is in danger.

Well well well, I guess I did get photos of the Medic Building in Chicago before they tore it down around 2017. It was a dreary April day, as you can tell. #Chicago #MedicBuilding #Demolished #2012Photo . Now a Whole Foods stands in its place. #Infrared

Spring Stirring by Donal Hord. On display in La Jolla at the Scripps Oceanographic Institute (off to the side). After photographing Donal's exterior work for awhile, you learn you need to bring along a soft cloth & some water to clean the dust & bird poop off of them if you want to create a quality exposure. #ArtDeco #DonalHord #LaJolla #SanDiegoCounty

It seems like you can't go 300 feet on Taraval Street without bumping into another Art Deco building: EVEN THE 7-Eleven is Art Deco ! This one is 318 Taraval Street. 📸: me/02/2025 My #SanFrancisco #ArtDeco map: https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1BHaLQufjoYxYfUUnw6R66yDkJxM&usp=sharing
