183/365 - a photo on Flickriver

183/365

            During a lake loop I couldn't help but notice the boom with workers removing the logo from the hotel on John Nolen Drive, so I did the obvious and stopped for a photo. While I was not suited for a telephoto of the now empty logoed hotel I was treated with a trailer full of the pieces that were taken down.

I was beyond humbled that when the hotel underwent a remodel in 2018 I was contacted by an art agency who wanted to use several of my black and white photographs of the city mounted on the walls of every room in the hotel.

I wasn't quite sure what the logos coming down meant, so I parked my bike and went inside to inquire. This is when I learned that as part of the @marriotthotels takeover of Sheraton nearly a decade ago the buildings were getting a refresh. The newly branded hotel is still the same on the inside (with some updates in the years ahead) and my photos still grace the walls. I breathed a sigh of a relief and hope that if they decide to update the rooms again that they choose me as the artist of choice.
