If starting out I would suggest Nikon or Canon. Most of the new cameras will have full 35mm format or a smaller format chip so that will effect the lenses you need. In 35mm terms I favor 24mm and perhaps you may want a lens that has a zoom range. Try not to go too wide with your lenses unless necessary because it dilutes the composition and looks like a snapshot. Also, with lenses you get what you pay for so don't go cheap. It doesn't matter how good the camera is if the optics are poor, expect to pay over $1700 for a good lens that gives very little distortion.
Best of luck!

you do not need to spend anywhere that much. If its just for a website and fairly small pictures, then a nice versitile bridge will be fine. Unless your wanting to spend more.

most of the shots were taken with a fuji S9600 |

In regards to the comment in the previous post, it really depends on what you're doing. If you want high quality and you're doing this professionally then in most cases you get what you pay for. Pro architectural cameras and lenses truly go beyond what most people think and understanding goes beyond reading the specs. There is a technical side that gets more and more complex as technology evolves.
If you are looking for a simple setup for documentary work then most cameras will do fine but be sure to do a Google search for some current reviews.
Best,
