"Form Follows Function" - Louis Sullivan

"It is the pervading law of all things organic and inorganic,
Of all things physical and metaphysical,
Of all things human and all things super-human,
Of all true manifestations of the head,
Of the heart, of the soul,
That the life is recognizable in its expression,
That form ever follows function.
This is the law." -Louis Sullivan (architect 1856-1942)

In perhaps a moment of haste, I decided to start a blog. My main motivation for this forthcoming trail of thoughts, ramblings and perhaps a piece of my mind here and there, is house my attempt at photojournalism.

I named this blog after one of my favorite quotes by iconic Chicago architect, Louis Sullivan. Form Follows Function was the mantra which served as the foundation for the famed Chicago School of Architecture. I like to think I live my life by this same principle, or try to at least.

If anyone actually reads this feel free to post comments or even request a blog topic if you're feeling saucy.
