Over three years ago, I was sitting on my couch, despondent and seriously contemplating forced retirement from my career. In October 2022, while on assignment in Tennessee and without any warning, I suffered a painful and debilitating nerve injury in my neck that radiated down to my extremities. Not only was I in excruciating pain but the motor function and
What did you around July 4? I, naturally, was working on assignment – this time in Knoxville, Tennessee to photograph two landmarks, one new, and the other with a brand new life. While I’m a fan of and played other sports, baseball has been my lifetime favorite since childhood, a common link I have with my father. Wne I was
My elementary school – which apparently is still there – was constructed in 1920 and had all the appearances of a medieval castle made of brick. Cast-iron radiators with peeling lead-based paint and hot to touch kept the school warm during winter. K12 schools have come a long way since my childhood! There’s been an uptick of photographing schools in
Ever year is a little different and 2025 has been no exception! After 30 years in the design industry with more than half in architectural photography, I finally captured project types I hadn’t previously taken before. So let’s talk about HORSIES! That’s right, horses. I had the pleasure of collaboration with Studio 310 to photograph the 3H Equine Hospital, a
Last autumn I ventured up to Clinton in east Tennessee to photograph Aspire recreational park, a privately owned venue that’s open to the general public, for architect MHM, based in Knoxville, At 370 acres, it’s the largest of its type in the southeastern United States. and I was brought on to capture their site facilities, including a 22,000 s.f. visitor
Most reading probably remember US Airways Flight 1549, “Miracle on the Hudson”, scheduled to fly from La Guardia Airport in NYC to Charlotte, North Carolina, piloted by Captain “Sully” Sullenberger on January 15, 2009. 15 years later, the Sullenberger Aviation Museum, formerly the Carolinas Aviation Museum opened in the summer of 2024 at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT). I had
Last summer I photographed the Texas A&M University San Antonio project, designed by WestEast Design Group. Interior walls were installed by Millard Drywall. TAMU-SA is a relatively new campus. Library and business schools are programmed in separate wings of the building and tied together by a lobby at each forms’ intersection. Traditional Texas vernaclar mixes with contemporary construction and is
Am I finally posting where I was this time a year ago? Mayyyyyyybe. Last February I checked Las Vegas off the list of places to see in the United States, arriving the day after many were leaving from the Super Bowl. To be perfectly honest, the city isn’t my kind of town, but I spent some time touring the city.
During yet another blazing hot summer, I had the pleasure to work again with Studio 8 Architects on a couple projects, including the Alterman Corporate Campus in San Antonio (technically Live Oak but whatever) across the highway from IKEA. I also finally got to work along with the wonderful folks at Alterman. Other involved parties included Whiting-Turner Contracting, Dunaway, Cleary
2024 was an incredibly successful and frenetic year, so much so that certain tasks such as updating this blog went to the wayside. Finally, I’ll spend a bit of time playing catchup highlighting specific projects, so here goes nothing right? Early last spring I took my first trip to metropolitan Lubbock, Texas for a multiple-day shoot to photograph the UMC
Those closely following career know I returned to Texas three years ago to set up shop in San Antonio, where I now split time between living in the Alamo City and Raleigh, North Carolina. Recently I did something I’ve never done before – walk less than 500 feet to an architectural shoot. This is the Residence on Pine, photographed for
Had the pleasure of returning to Nashville and photographing Nelson’s Green Brier Distillery in downtown for Anecdote Architectural Experiences. Located near Marathon Village, the 50,000 s.f. warehouse building includes a bar, restaurant, distillery, and entertainment spaces. Check out that fresh coat of paint! Passersby can see through the storefront windows to the distillery beyond the restaurant. The spacious interior features
