It’s been a productive year so blogs are on a time-delay, so to speak. These are a few shoots captured in downtown Durham, North Carolina late this summer. Spaces is a coworking er…space in the new 555 Mangum office building, built by McDonald York Construction. As the stairs navigate up four flights to the second floor, you can see a
2020 has been on heck of a year, resulting in equal craziness on the architectural photography side of things. These are three projects that faced a series of delays that could only happen this year (hopefully!). One Glenwood, designed by JDavis Architects anchors Glenwood Avenue in the ever-expanding downtown Raleigh. The generous glazing combined with LED-lighting allowed for some interesting
Downtown Raleigh has changed so much over the two decades I’ve lived here and few places visibly reflect those changes more than the Peace Street area where Capital Boulevard overpasses. This is photography of the first-completed of several buildings in the area, Peace Raleigh Apartments by Kane Realty, who single-handedly gave North Hills its own skyline, and designed by Cline
Hope this finds everyone healthy, safe, and well. As indicated in my last blog over three months ago, everyone and everything has been upended by the global pandemic that’s since taken real root in the United States. Despite the interruption, I’ve been able to adjust to this brave new world and resume shooting even with delays with many of my
It took a global pandemic and national economic collapse to make me realize I hadn’t a week off from business since February 2017. Well, the good news is I finally got one. On the other hand… – anyways, this winter was another busy season until – you know. I have 25 projects that float anywhere between postponed to reduced to
I wasn’t trying to go rogue. Really. Okay – before getting into that, welcome to my first blog entry of 2020! I’ll go into detail about photographing the contemporary addition and renovation of the Asheville Art Museum. Firstly, thank you to the architect, Asheville-based ARCA Design for bringing me on. Deep thanks to the wonderful staff at the AAM for
Clark Patterson Lee recently finished an ambulatory surgery center for Caldwell UNC’s Rivercrest Medical Park in western North Carolina. The new building (left) steps forward and linearly pairs with the existing medical building (right) in elevation. Solo, the surgery center relies on exterior overhangs, canopies, and generous fenestration to dynamically extend the visual footprint out, while simultaneously allowing views into
This summer I returned to Charleston, South Carolina for several projects, one being the Meeting Street Lofts on behalf of Cline Design in downtown, adjacent to a highway exit and overpass. Massing forms entry for retail below and community amenities above as seen prominently from the Meeting Street intersection. Inside is a two-story sales office space that leads towards other
I’m very behind on social media, so am again combining several projects into one posting. It was a pleasure again to work with Integrated Design on several projects including Bob Barker’s office space in Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina. The corridor transitions between the entrance lobby/public spaces and employee areas. The break area can be partitioned off or opened further into the
In the design and construction industry, sometimes you never know when and where work comes in, and related fields such as architectural photography are no different. The first time I traveled to Nashville on assignment was in 2013 and since the area has gradually grown into a regional market. Below is a sampling of the photographs I’ve recently photographed. EOA
There’s been a population explosion in most of the southern cities I work in, a sharp uptick in multifamily housing in those metros, and therefore a large percentage of my work across the country has wound up being brand new city apartments. This includes my backyard in Raleigh, North Carolina where I photographed the Metropolitan for JDavis Architects, Clancy &
2019 has been bananas. B-A-N-A-N-A-S. Go ahead, try getting Gwen Stefani unstuck from your head, I dare you. I’ve returned to my old stomping grounds in Texas twice this year and likely will have at least two more visits before the 2019 is out, steadily building on some things that have been quietly in the works. To my delight, I
