Every year there’s some sort of “first” and in 2017 has been no different. I got to professionally shoot my first transportation facility in the form of the Piedmont Authority for Regional Transportation (PART) Howard Coble Intermodal Transportation Center for the architect and engineering firm Clark Patterson Lee The Greensboro, North Carolina location includes a passenger bus station and fleet
Last post I claimed we were going back to school, right? I wasn’t exaggerating! Recently I wrapped up the Dixon Middle School in Sneads Ferry, NC for Smith Sinnnett Architecture. It’s a pretty sizable school for almost 1000 students, designed for both student expansion and flexible, technology-enabled environment. This is the entire school featuring the gymnasium-side hall entry. Centered
BACK TO SCHOOL! Apparently it’s some sort of cosmic joke paying off my student loans partially hinges on photographing university architecture. This time, I went to nearby Campbell University to capture the brand new Luby Wood Residence Hall designed by Little. I had never previously been the campus before and wasn’t sure what to expect on the grounds, the entire
I had the opportunity work with Raleigh-based architects Smith Sinnett on a couple of projects in east North Carolina. One was the Onslow County Consolidated Health Services building, located in Jacksonville, North Carolina. It’s a facility that combined the county’s health and social services departments into one building. It was interesting to see how the building was planned to carry,
While in Charlotte, North Carolina, I teamed up again with friend and former classmate Jessica Hindman and Studio H Home Design to document a few projects including the Hall Residence, an addition and renovation to an existing craftsman style, bungalow house. This is the front entry, which you can see the original house and upper-story addition. The living room and
One of my clients recently flew into town, and over a business breakfast asked what I’ve been working on, as my social media activity has declined. That’s when I realized I haven’t posted anything since June. Long story short, there are a few major things I’ve been working on that will come to fruition over the next year, so stay
Those who closely follow this blog may recall the fun little downtown Durham building I shot a couple years ago for Sasha Berghausen and Blok Architecture. Below is a dramatization of our conversation, which may or may not be, entirely accurate. (phone rings) “Hello? Hey what’s going on Sasha! Yeah! That building was crazy with all the site lines in
I returned to University of North Carolina, this time to photograph Hill Hall, part of UNC’s Department of Music for mid-Atlantic-based Quinn Evans Architects. You may remember them from the downtown Cary Theater they did in the area a few years ago. Hill Hall was originally built in 1907 as the main campus library. It’s gone through several renovations and
One of my national clients, KBS hired me for a multiple-day shoot of their Offices at Greenhouse property in Houston, Texas. Not too much to describe here, these real-estate shoots are relatively straightforward. These are a couple aerials of the building and its surroundings. On the ground, it was a matter of capturing particular views and angles to best market
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
