I’ve always been drawn to the flowing curves of the Ascension Columbia St. Mary’s Women’s Hospital in Milwaukee. From this low angle, the building feels almost alive—its smooth lines and dynamic form twisting and turning like a wave frozen in time.
The contrast of light and shadow adds to the sense of movement, giving it a sculptural quality that’s both modern and timeless. There’s something mesmerizing about the way architecture can be both rigid and fluid at the same time, and this shot captures that balance perfectly.
Of course, it is not the first time I’ve photographed the building. Here are a few others from years past.

These are all really stunning, Scott. Beautiful!
Thanks Jayme! It helps that the building is so cool. It reminds me of the quote by NatGeo photographer Jim Richardson, “If you want to be a better photographer, stand in front of more interesting stuff.”
