Piece description from the artist
Mainz was founded along the Rhine by the Roman Empire and contains remnants of such architecture along with a flourish of medieval, Renaissance, & Romanesque buildings as varied as its political history, which has also included occupation by Napoleon.
Evangelische Christuskirche, or Christuskirche (Christ Church), was erected in the Renaissance Revival style as the tallest structure in Mainz. Napoleon brought freedom of religion to the citizens of Mainz, at which point non-Catholics began to be more than just tolerated. It was intended to counterbalance the Catholic Mainz Cathedral and the mighty dome excels other churches and buildings of the inner city of Mainz.
Ashland grew up in Southeast Virginia surrounded by lush rural landscapes, great protected swamp lands, national & state parks, the Chesapeake Bay, the Eastern Shore, the breathtaking Skyline Drive & Blue Ridge Mountains, and the inlets & oceans of Virginia & North Carolina.
It was this constant variation in natural beauty that first drew his eye to the camera; that, and the constant joy of capturing life's candid moments on film. Although no particular subject is banned from the lens of Ashland's camera, it is landscapes, cityscapes, wildlife, and nature that truly captures his heart.
"There's always more to see, more to learn, more to be wowed about-I just hope you enjoy what I see in the world."
A constant staple on the likes of Instagram, Flickr, and Facebook, Ashland currently resides in Chicago, Illinois, and looks forward to many more years of development, collaboration, creativity, world travel, and art.
