Photo Friday

There is an art to remodeling that keeps the best and creates tailor-made new living spaces seamlessly on the inside. Repair and reuse is a theme in our own household, and a remodel does it on a grand scale. I like remodels, and I especially liked this one The starting point was a rustic Park…

Old Town Park City is coming out of a transition from the boho stomping grounds of seasonal resort workers to high-end living. While evident in remodels, new construction more dramatically drives home the point that Old Town Park City has changed. Park City architect Jonathan DeGray recently commissioned me to photograph a home he designed…

On my trip to Mount Olympus, I saw suggestions of St. George. If you are thinking about St. George leisurely spending time drinking nectar with Jupiter, Apollo, Diana and the like, I have been misleading.

Several blogs ago I tantalized readers when I featured the interiors of a home located in a canyon above Alpine built by Hobble Creek Construction (located in American Fork) and beautifully designed by Upwall Design (Salt Lake City).

It’s easy to tell what’s on my mind. It’s summer, it’s hot and it’s time to take a dip into some dazzling backyard swimming pools. I have been taking quite a few exterior shots this past week or two, and as you know, it’s been plenty warm. A pool spells temptation. This week, I’m going…

This week found me going through my files for more images for the Frank Lloyd Wright documentary being prepared in Italy by an architect.

What the buildings share is California’s mild Mediterranean climate,…
