All indications are that in the future we will see more homes on less land. There’s lots of reasons for living closer together, in urban areas, and nearer to jobs. Some are economic and other reasons are related to conservation of resources, reducing carbon emissions, and hopefully leaving more...
I’m continuing to pose a question based on a statement by poet John O’Donohue. He said that good architecture demands a second look. I started this series with very modestly sized homes—just one bedroom. This week the homes are slanted more toward luxury living, and I ask the same...
Last week I repeated a poet’s remark that architecture is good if we want to take a second look. Is there more to see or a pleasing order or beauty beyond that first look? This is the first time I have shown shots of this project.
The photos take us...
Like many sheltering at home waiting for the virus to run its course, I have been catching up on my reading. A recent pleasure read is Beauty, the Invisible Embrace by the late John O’Donohue, a treatise on the role that beauty plays in uplifting us, especially in troubled...

I really appreciate it when creative people take a new direction or try something different and succeed pulling it off, like a comedian taking on a serious role or Tony Bennett singing duets with Lady Gaga.

A recent assignment to photograph Okland Construction’s Salt Lake headquarters building demonstrated to me how an office space can be vital, energized, and focused on the daily experiences of those who work there. Okland Construction, of course, built the space (designed by WRNS Studios, San Francisco) and showcased the...
