Removing the buildings from architectural photography may not seem like something to celebrate in the age of Photoshop, but there is something appealing about the photos of famous buildings hand-cut by Mexican artist Jose Dávila, 90 of them assembled in the new book There But Not. Perhaps it's the choice of buildings – ranging from the Great Pyramids in Egypt to contemporary gems like Herzog & de Meuron's Dominus Winery in California (pictured) – or the way they are legible through the silhouettes framed amongst their backgrounds. Whatever the case, Dávila's appreciation of great buildings is evident. Not surprisingly, the artist trained as an architect.
