    1. Thank you Audrey. I used to photograph a lot of architectural details. Especially the details on older buildings. I did research at the time and found that quite a lot of these details have specific meanings. The little child’s heads one sees under ground floor windows or above the front doors, are usually portraits of the building’s owner’s children. Decorative details can be left up to individual craftsman.
