Thinking Back to Summer

admin — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 18:31:49 +0000

I’d like to warm up this gray, snowy and wet New England day by sharing with you a fantastic Martha’s Vineyard residence that I photographed last summer for architect Patrick Ahearn.

This amazingly detailed and timeless house was constructed by Rosebeck Builders. Traditional in its inspiration, the home sits back from the ocean on a rolling bluff, commanding wonderful views of Chilmark. Gauther Stacy created an interior design that beautifully balances with the homeowners’ love of antique clocks and scrimshaw. Can’t get much more New England than that!

Kayak Grows

Recently I was commissioned to photograph the Kayak corporate HQ, again… They are growing! Andrew Cohen Architects designed Kayak’s first space, and just completed an additional floor with integral stair that encompasses and defines the break area and kitchen. Take a look! (Kayak, if you don’t know, is the preeminent travel search engine. It’s your one stop for flights, hotel, etc. Kayak searches all the “other” travel sites and brings the info cleanly to one place.)

Also check out this amazing residence that Andrew Cohen Architects designed just west of Boston.

I can finally reveal more images from the Nov/Dec 2011 issue of New England Home Magazine. This very chic South End high rise apartment designed by Terrat Elms was a feature story. Be sure to pick up the magazine for the full story of this trans-formative design. Oh, and be sure to check out Terrat Elms debut on This Old House.

Interior Designer Kristen Rivoli decorated this historic Concord house for the Concord Museum House Tour. I Love the Green, Gold, & Purple palette and incorporation of fruits and veg. “I used foods of color to convey the accents ‘lime green and eggplant’ inspired by my Bernardaud China used in the Dining Room along with the silver and gold foundation colors.” says Kristin.

“Shack Chic”

admin — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 15:38:49 +0000

See this feature story in Design New England Magazine. “Shack Chic” is the beautiful Nantucket Island getaway “West Wind” that Ted & Kim Goodnow (of Woodmeister Master Builders) reclaimed from the dunes and transformed into this simple yet luxurious summer house. Using the greenest technology, of product and process, this “fishing shack” went through an amazing transformation. Ted & Kim worked with Mathew Moger, Moger Mehrhof Architects, and Wendy Valliere, Seldom Scene Interiors Inc.

New England Ice Harvest

admin — Tue, 01 Mar 2011 17:34:51 +0000

One of the topics for the New England Icons book I’m working on, with Bruce Irving, is Ice Houses. I traveled to the north coast of Maine to capture the traditional ice harvest at the Thompson Ice House. What a fantastic day and experience. This annual harvest brings out the locals and the tourists for a day of fun, wonderment and work.

Being early, I was quickly recruited to help cut the first lanes of blocks headed to the ice house. “….not just up and down. Use a circular motion.” I was told. This is hard work. Even though the lanes are pre-cut or scored about 8 inches down, the final 8+ are up to you and the 19th century 5 foot hand saw. I lasted one lane… about 6 ice blocks. Luckly after the first two lanes are cut the saw is only need for the ends. The whole lane can be broken off using long “forks” in the scoring.

The most dangerous job, by far, is stacking the ice blocks in the ice house. The large blocks, weighing a few hundred pounds, come flying down the ramp. They are then strong-armed into possition. This job seemed reserved for the 20 somethings of the village…

Ice was once New Englands greatest export.

Read Bruce’s article “When Ice was Hot” to learn more about the history of new england ice trade.

Corporate Interiors – Nelson

admin — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 15:21:43 +0000

Biogen Idec’s new corporate headquarters is a soaring multi-story space filled with light open spaces and glass. Natural surfaces are off set with corporate colors. Good thing you can’t see the 20ft holiday trees and other decorations that had to be moved for the shots!

Sea Crest Oceanfront Resort

admin — Fri, 31 Dec 2010 13:28:04 +0000

The Sea Crest Oceanfront Resort has recently changed hands and is going through a dramatic transformation. The new owners, Scout Capital and ING Clarion are committed to changing this 2 star hotel to a 4 star resort. Read more about the new owners and transforming plans in the South Hampton News Flash and Cape Cod Times.

We spent a few days in early December capturing the newly renovated Lobby, Common spaces, and Rooms and Suites. The challenges where many. Including shooting around all the construction and making it feel like summer! Here is a few shots from the shoot. To see more click here.
