I recently returned to my old stomping grounds in Houston, Texas for a couple projects. One is the brand spanking new Marriott Marquis in downtown Houston, near the Minute Maid baseball park, home of MLB’s Houston Astros. Yes, those people are canoeing in what appears to be two-foot deep water. Look – you ever been to Houston? There is nothing
Whew! Well, this is the busiest start of the year I’ve ever had, which now that I think about it I seem to claim every year, which I guess is a good thing to be able to annually claim. Got to work again with Cline Design Associates architects on Anderson Flats apartments located in midtown Raleigh, North Carolina. The lobby
Well this isn’t normal for me, a non-work related blog that has very little to do with architecture. It’s uh…mostly nature. What? Yes. NATURE. Every year I try to get away for my birthday and photograph for fun. These annual attempts have had various degrees of success as the real world often pulls me away and this year was no
I’ve been steadily shooting for architects Cline Design for the past year and had a new slate of work to photograph to start off 2017. One of these projects is the recently relocated Tobacco Road Sports Cafe in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina. It’s huge. YUGE. Two levels with a mezzanine story. Past the garage doors you’ll find a one-story dining
Alright, let’s kick off 2017! December through January included working with MJM Group, a commercial real-estate company out of Durham, North Carolina. They are launching a new marketing campaign, including total revamp of collateral and photography, and hired me to photograph a couple projects. One was the new Marriott Residence Inn and Fairfield Inn near the airport in Charlotte, North
I’ve spent a good amount of time this year in North Hills in midtown Raleigh, North Carolina on the behalf of several clients. A few months ago I completed photography of the new Bank of America Tower and this time returned to photograph my favorite building design in Raleigh, ever, the Captrust Building. Now I’ve been on the record for
Back at again with the architects at Integrated Design, this time with an exterior & interior renovation of an old EPA building in Durham, North Carolina. The front facade was redone featuring a more dynamic elevation, increased fenestration, and shading devices. The centerpiece of the new lobby is a wood stair with small green wall. The conference room and break
BHDP hired me to shoot a couple of interior renovations the architecture firm recently completed in Durham, North Carolina. It was less about the space and design and really more about highlighting activity and use within it; essentially creating interior vignettes. The first space was London-based Genband. It was a clean and efficient design featuring simple white walls with multiple
If you’d told me I would travel to Arkansas three times in a four-year time span, I would’ve laughed. Laugh no more, after my initial vacation to this beautiful state, I’ve been back twice now for work. Again, this was on behalf of the Dinerstein Companies in Fayetteville, Arkansas (home of University of Arkansas) for their student housing project, the
Assignments took me into the midwest this summer, but I’m not here to talk about that – instead I’ll further share things that interested me in between working. Cities I’ll focus on are Indianapolis, Cincinnati, and Louisville. Ready? INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA I had only previously visited Indianapolis once and wasn’t too impressed – I won’t lie, I wasn’t blown away the
Hey I get to post about in-between assignments again! These abandoned interior pictures from a small Pennsylvania mining town housing community. However they won’t remain empty for too long, as the landowner is slowly repairing these houses to make them inhabitable again. I wasn’t too interested in the exteriors, so you’re just going to see the deterioration on the inside.
Followers may or may not have noticed that personal photography has greatly diminished over the last two years, especially abandoned subject matter. Much of it can be attributed to my professional life, however the reality is it’s been over 18 months since doing any serious venturing due to multiple illnesses that have repeatedly landed me in the hospital and a
