I spent a few hazy summer days in Seattle with some of my favorite collaborators: . Their latest residential project rises over Elliott Bay, standing shoulder to shoulder with the iconic Space Needle.

Kaye was another in a series of projects I’ve worked on with Skanska over the past few years, more of which I’ll be sharing very soon.

I had the pleasure of a long stay at in the hills of Vieux Nice, France for much of the past week. This 17th century convent was recently given new life by and . Hotel du Couvent carries the calm and contemplative spirit of its forebears with a distinct reverence. The hotel, its grounds, its staff, and its environment are truly one-of-a-kind. I’ll certainly be back.

Note: this was not a commissioned project, but I’m never able to put the camera down when I see something beautiful. No guests or staff were photographed, each space was photographed vacant and then occupied in post using Google’s new Nano Banana generative tools. The spaces, color and light are true to form, but people were added as if I had control of each scene on-site.

The sun rises early here… and slowly.

The night sky reveals color long before birdsong. When the chickadees awaken, the tide follows, pooling in the dunes and reflecting dawn’s color.

The wind in the pines is ever-present in Wellfleet, unyielding like the scent of sea. Just a dog’s walk away, oysters reach adulthood and farmers claim them. Tides rise, tides fall, years pass…

There is a rare peace here. A delicate peace. My friends Adam and James (and Stuart and Louie) know this peace intimately. They have an unique bond with the Cape, and they’ve conserved an oyster’s pearl that may not exist without their influence.

This home was another family’s dream a generation ago. As time passed, decay began to set in. Nature asserted her claim, wood began to rot, and Adam and James arrived as this home was supported only by the glass of its quarter-moon windows.

James, Adam and their friend and architect Ezra Block gave this home a new life. They underwent a complete restoration and expansion that not only saved the building from decay, but renewed it completely.

I was fortunate to be welcomed by James and Adam to photograph their home. I arose before dawn and listened to the wind in the pines. I shared oysters with Adam and James (but not Stuart and Louie) as the sun set in Wellfleet. Despite my long hours photographing this home, it didn’t feel like work for a moment. I was proud to play a small part in documenting this home’s revival. And to spend some time with good people (and Stuart and Louie) in a small slice of American paradise.

This Charlotte stunner by cozied right up to the camera. I got to spend a few busy days here early this year moments before it opened to the public. It is as dreamy as it looks, thanks to the thoughtful ex*****on by and her team at Square Feet Studio.

Corten, stone and concrete comprise a new student athletic facility in El Paso, Texas. The new Socorro stadium by is right at home in its native desert environment. Its shape, color and materials palette reflects the sands, brush and mountain rim that encircles greater El Paso. It stands out by blending in — while serving its community as its newest sports and entertainment venue.

The Socorro Stadium is also a bit of a homecoming for El Paso’s own Fred Ortiz, now the Global Director of Sports and Entertainment at HKS Architects. I had the pleasure of spending three days in El Paso with Fred, learning about the process and inspiration that yielded this new work of sports architecture. I’ve shot many projects with Fred, but it was especially exciting to see where that inspiration came from. Also, there were flautas. Absolutely delicious flautas.

I spent a couple more days at the new HQ this summer in Atlanta. This building by has captured the imagination of the Old Fourth Ward neighborhood. It was so much fun watching people engage with the architecture. I saw dates, dog walkers, photo shoots and family outings in and around this work of art. It serves as a community hub for Mailchimp and my friends at — and a new landmark for Atlanta’s quickly evolving skyline.

I had the great fortune to collaborate with a wonderful group of people at the new HQ in Atlanta. My new friends at imagined a remarkable workspace spanning nine floors of an monument. It’s a city within itself, filled with neighborhoods and small-biz-inspired collaborative spaces. brought Mailchimp’s vision to life, and I had three wonderful days to explore it with my camera and a killer team of creative counterparts.
