about the work and the site...
Sketches and line drawings: all of the work you see here starts out that way in real life. For those of you who design, that's usually how your process begins. But instead of enduring the years of redesign/specifications/change orders/construction/etc., here you can simply pass your mouse over the sketch to see the completed project! If only "real life" was so easy.

The photograph is an abstraction, but it is usually the best way of showing a body of work. A sketch is another abstraction which conveys an alternate aesthtic and produces an anticipatory sensation. One is excited about seeing the finished product. So please head on over to the markets/images page and have fun mousing around.

The site will be under construction all year. Check back to see new markets and images. It's always been such a grind to put up a whole site. And then I feel obligated to leave it up there unchanged for a year. This year you'll see new images, hopefully every week or two.

about the photographer and the experience...

After 25 years of architectural photography in California, Nevada, Arizona, and Hawaii, I bring a lot more to the project than raw experience. The photography buyer deserves not only the creativity and knowledge that will deliver the right images, but also someone who has a unique appreciation for the business relationship. Toward that result, I work hard to deliver:

  • stress-free projects
  • on-time delivery with no budget surprises
  • excellent communication 24-7
  • and, of course, GREAT SHOTS!

Enjoy the site!
