I jumped at the chance to photograph Stark Architecture's beautiful Drifter House in Whistler. The owners are super cool people who are so happy they have a house where they can display their art collection. What a space to spend the day!

I was back down at UBC for a super early morning shoot at the new Aquatic Centre. I got to photograph the space while the university swim team practiced. As an avid swimmer since age five I love photographing pools and seeing how much pool design has changed since I was a kid. Architecture by Acton Ostry Architects and MJMA.
I worked with West One Design to photograph this beautiful post and beam house in Lion's Bay. I love west coast modern architecture and especially love it when a home owner sees how special these houses are and renovates rather than razes. Had a great shoot out at UBC photographing the new Leed Platinum Student Union Building, also known as the Nest. Architecture by Dialog and B+H Associated Architects.
Just wanted to post a few shots from a recent shoot for Dakota Homes and interior designer Tanya Krpan. We focused on the kitchen, powder room and master bath in this contemporary traditional home for a bachelor in Richmond.
Had a great time shooting the new Vancouver location of Peaked Pies in the west end for Ply Architecture. The first location opened in Whistler a few years ago and the traditional Australian meat pies were a hit. It's a cozy little spot on Denman with beautiful big windows and a custom light fixture painted by graffiti artist Taka Sudo.
Today I was happy to see designboom, one of the top architecture and design blogs, posted my Hybrids photo collage series.
Click on the photo to see more images and read about the concept. I went on a little day trip over to Victoria to photograph a couple projects for HCMA on the University of Victoria campus. They designed the new addition to the Continuing Studies Building, bridging the old and new building with a bright, open atrium space with loads of hangout spaces for the students. The best thing about my job as an architectural photographer is getting to spend time experiencing all types of design and architecture, it's always something different and keeps things interesting. I got lucky while photographing the Dugald Field House for Carscadden Stokes McDonald out in Delta at dusk, it felt and looked like how it does right before a tornado. I'm very glad it was only windy and sporadically sprinkled rain.
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. Sizes available
