Well its 02 Jan 2010 and I am just learning how to blog, this is the first one, so lets see what trouble I can get into.
This blog is an avenue for me to discuss and display my photography and for me to stay in touch with you all so you will know where we are working and with whom and if we are having fun and getting things done and in what manner!
We have been incredibly busy this past year 2009, working with so many architects and builders and designers, art directors and ad agencies I can't remember them all (but will list as many as I can anyway).
Our last job was the new Texas A&M Health Science Center in Round Rock, a teaching facility associated with the Texas A&M Medical School (the image below). Graeber Simmons and Cowan and Chasco Construction were the designers and builder, Ginny Chilton, AIA and Tommy Cowan, FAIA were the principal designers. There are so many cool design elements in this project (the rotunda staircase, the Sim Center, the auditorium...), I will be adding a link to a gallery of the images we shot soon.
My partner Holly and I shot some food for Jack Allen's Kitchen, which just opened on 71 West here in Austin; they have some really great food, the two principals coming from Z Tejas fame, and we attended two of the tastings before they opened and the food was remarkably good. I suggest you take a friend and ask for the best item on the menu we have tried so far, the 'veggie sandwich' a portobello mushroom on Ciabata; the burger and sweet potato fries are especially good as well, as is the queso! Special thanks to Angela Fulcher at MPact Brand Advertising.
Bay Architects, based in Houston, has been designing some amazing elementary, intermediate and high schools in Texas, we have really been working hard for them.
O'Connell Robertson Architects is also designing some beautiful School projects around Central Texas and beyond, really great spaces!
One of my favorite clients is Heather McKinney at McKinney York, she and her staff are so talented they can design almost anything and do it well. We shot too many projects to list here for them but two of the latest were a beautiful residence in San Antonio and a great renovation of one of the buildings on the University of Texas campus.
PhiloWilke Partnership, a firm based in Houston specializing in hospitals, designed some of the most well thought out and memorable medical spaces we have seen, including facilities for MD Anderson and Memorial Hermann, so special thanks to PW for their business this past year. They have been a very loyal client. Special thanks to Kristin Kautz!
David Wilkes Builders builds residential and specialized commercial projects, several of which we have worked on, all superb designs; David and his wife Catherine are especially nice people and a joy to work with!
I was blessed to be hired by Brigitte Preston at LauckGroup, an interior architecture firm based in Dallas, to photograph several of their projects, a couple of which are the UT Athletics (Hook Em Horns!) facilities and a law firm downtown in the Frost Bank Tower. Always beautiful work by the LauckGroup!
Tellepsen Builders in Houston is in their 100th year in business and Tad Lewis, their hard working development guru, hired me to photograph multiple projects for them including the River Oaks Country Club, Baylor Medical School Cullen Eye Institute, Episcopal Diocese of Texas Headquarters, many churches and schools, etc.. too many to finish the list, I really am grateful to Tad and the Tellepsen family for their confidence in my work.
Greg Hunteman, AIA and Walter Arnold at Pi Architects were great clients in 2009 as well, they design primarily senior living facilities, and their attention to detail and concern for their clients and their clients clients is remarkable. Clients.
SpawGlass Builders was another of my best and favorite clients in 2009, we did a lot of work together this past year and they built some great projects including the new ACC Parking Garage on the 12th and Rio Grande ACC Campus.
Nathan Carruth, AIA at Jacobs Carter Burgess designed another facility for Texas A&M, the new Prockop Institute for Regenerative Medicine in Temple.
Some other clients we worked with, and I want to thank them as equally as those metnioned above for their contribution to our business, were IE2 Construction, CG&S Design Build, Polkinghorn Group Architects, DPR Construction, CBRichardEllis, Kalzip Alcoa, Catellus Prologis/Mueller Development, Betsy Homan Interior Design, Browning Construction, the Lawrence Group, Etie Brish, Earl Swensson Architects, the Ronald McDonald House Charities, Tate Austin Hahn, Memorial Hermann Hospital System, MD Anderson, University Federal Credit Union, Stream Realty Partners, Hanley Wood Publishing Group, Merriman Holt Architects, Rick O'Donnell Architects and many others. If I forget to mention anyone, let me know!, and I apologize.
Any of the images we photographed for these clients can of course be seen on the website, so check them out, the website will be updated as soon as I can get the time, this month for sure!!
January has a lot in store, including some travel to New Mexico.
Let me know what you think about all this. I promise to be funnier next time!
