Here's just a small taste of the photo set I took at Neutra VDL Studio and Residence in Los Angeles. I love learning the history of these mid-century modern houses. Not long after photographing this space I attended a talk by Richard Neutra's son who detailed the work of his father and discussed living in the house as a kid and how it was always buzzing with activity. Check out more modern homes in my modern love gallery.

farmhouse friends

Last week I decided to spontaneously surprise my best friend at her new house in a small town east of Kingston, Ontario. I was one of the many Air Miles members to redeem points before they expired at the end of the year, only to find out they canceled the expiration plan shortly after I used them. I don't regret it because it was a great surprise and a desperately needed visit after not seeing each other for over a year. Although she and her husband are working their way through renovations, I wanted to photograph the spaces that were clean and finished since it's such a great 100+ year old house. I'm excited to see how the rest of the renovations go over the next year and will be taking more photos during upcoming visits.

salton sea series

On view at Vancouver Special until the end of July is my documentary photography series of Salton Sea in California. Salton Sea, explores the remnants of a now defunct resort towns in the Imperial Valley near Palm Springs. Following the accidental creation of an inland sea from an agricultural dam release in 1905, the Salton Sea became a tourist destination in the 1950's and 60's and was frequented by Hollywood celebrities such as Desi Arnaz and Frank Sinatra. However, the heyday of mid-century modern homes and yacht clubs was fleeting. Due to its position as the lowest elevation in the region, the water became inundated with toxic agricultural runoff and high levels of salinity, which in turn caused thousands of birds and fish to die. As quickly as the resort materialized, it vanished, leaving behind ghost towns of abandoned structures and signage.

I finally made it to Palm Springs, or as I like to call it Modernism Mecca. I was not disappointed and can't wait to go back. I rented a car so I was able to explore a few other places that were on my list. I went to the Integratron in Joshua Tree and had a sound bath which was pretty rad. South of Palm Springs is Salton Sea and Salvation Mountain, two anomalies worth checking out for anyone interested in seeing different desert architecture interventions. At the end of my trip I spent a couple days in San Diego and of course had to check out the thoughtful design of Louis Kahn's Salk Institute.

Recently I was in Toronto for a small shoot for an architect friend who just finished a restaurant project. But before
that I took a little drive to where I grew up and visited
some of the places I liked seeing as a kid.

I made it over to two of the nearby islands this month for shoots.
Trying to make these trips a regular occurrence because it's nice getting away from the city.

I took a little working vacation for a couple weeks this month. I spent five relaxing days in
St. Lucia and a week in Barbados, shooting a few vacation homes on both islands before attending my friend's wedding on the beach in Barbados.
