Born from a sensitivity to one's surroundings, both toward the environment's physical qualities and the emotions that they evoke, the images found within this website represent a life long interest in place making. A passion to discover, study and create beautiful places has fueled both my architecture and photography careers.

As a photograph records the inner vision of the photographer, buildings in essence become a recorded response of the designer's understanding of place. A building design should not only fit within its environment but become an integral part of it. The subtle expansion and contraction of the transition between the interior manmade world and the natural world becomes the designer's most powerful tool for place making. Many of the photographs found in this site explore this threshold between manmade and nature.

I discovered photography only four years ago, ten years after entering the field of architecture. At the time photography was primarily an extension of my career, a tool for helping me increase my understanding of place. Now photography has become my second profession. I believe that my sensitivity and developed understanding of place allows me to make unique and meaningful contributions through the photographic medium.
