Deconstructing Zion
A long time ago in a galaxy far far away, I was an architect–not a marine biologist. Even further from that point, I was in school to become an architect. My parents figured architecture would be a great major for me because I loved to draft in high school. What my parents didn’t realize, and [...]
Duality – China
There is this heavy metal band that I listen to on a regular basis named Slipknot and they have a song titled “Duality”. This song alternates between the heavy metal that most would dub “noise” and a calmer, completely comprehendible singing, hence the name. I have been thinking of this song for most of the [...]
Can’t Han…dle the Wor….kload
For the last week I have been under the gun from commercial architecture clients with ridiculous deadlines.

I have been in Colorado for past week shooting a commercial residential project. I was hired to create a major collection of images for the home owner, builder, and the architect. The images will be used for their portfolio and marketing pieces. Projects of this magnitude take a huge amount of planning and work to [...]
The Commercial Side
Many people want to know what I am doing at any given moment in time so I am trying to make that happen by adding more blog posts while I am working. Last night I was photographing a private residence for a commercial client in Colorado. I am not allowed to give names…well, I could [...]
Bjarke Ingles-Architect and Naturlist
Some of you have noticed that I have not been adding content here for quite a while now. Well, I have been offline for a bit, traveling, working, and in general living like a caveman with the basics of fire and shelter-stay tuned for more on that in some up coming posts. Some of you [...]
