I had purchased the web domain of my name years ago and I though it was time to put it to use. So, I have been preparing a new separate site to showcase my photography and I think it’s finally ready for prime time. Many of the images I have presented here on my blog, but I’ll be making frequent updates with new images.
John Lautner Architecture Tour
•2011/07/28 • 2 CommentsIn celebration for architect John Lautner’s would be 100th birthday the MAK Center for Art and Architecture and the John Lautner Foundation hosted a tour of four of Launter’s spectacularly designed homes: Jacobson House (1947), Harpel House (1956), Sheats/Goldstein House (1963,1980+ Remodels) Schwimmer House (1982). Tucked away in the hills of Los Angeles these houses are under the care of amazing homeowners who love and embrace the heritage of their homes and so graciously opened their homes to honor Launter and his work. The homes toured spanned several decades and showcased Launter’s creativity and engineering prowess that even today is astonishing.

Black and White Film Photography
•2011/07/19 • Leave a Comment
This Canon AE-1 will be my summer muse as I have I enrolled in a Black and White Film Photography class at a nearby university. My experience with working with film is very limited and for the most part it consisted of buying deposable cameras and dropping them off at the 1-hour photo to be developed. A few years back when I ventured into photography and bought a SLR camera the logical path was to go digital since no one I knew shot film. I am extremely excited to go back to where modern photography started and know I am going to learn a great deal and come away from the class being inspired. Developing my photos in the darkroom will be a major component to the class and while it looks like an intimidating process I’m sure I’ll enjoy every minute of it.
I can’t wait for my first photo assignment!

Anza-Borrego Desert Retreat
•2010/10/15 • Leave a CommentThis Anza-Borrego desert jewel was designed by Craig Abenilla of FoundatonForForm Architecture and Development. His client, an avid photographer, built the house to be her desert getaway and her personal place for reflection and inspiration. Her spectacular work is featured on nearly every wall and she has a whole wall showcasing her award winning exhibit. Most of her images are of things she finds abandoned on the desert floor and are truely amazing finds.
