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!

Hospitality Round-Up

Besides shooting for Interior Designers, Architects, and Magazines I also photograph for the Hospitality Industry. My clients include multinational hotel chains such as Sonesta and Hilton, as well as small boutique hotels like the Commonwealth Hotel, and resorts like the Harbor View on Maratha’s Vineyard. I often am photographing new guestrooms or ballroom setups, exteriors, and always food! Here is a quick sampling from 2011. You can see more of my Hospitality work here.

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.

“High Marks” two…

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.

Did you know?

Did you know that the Boston Society of Architects BSA “Home Owners Project Handbook” cover photograph is a Patrick Ahearn project I shot on Martha’s Vineyard… I forgot and was pleasantly surprised, well… reminded, when I was at the BSA’s website today! You can view more images of this “Island Village Compound” by clicking the link.

The second page is my photo as well. Fantastic house in Lincoln, MA built by Merz Construction and designed by Andrew Cohen Architects. It was featured in Boston Magazine.

Happy Holidays

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. Read more about her New Year’s Party theme and ideas on her blog.

Books Out!

Just in case you missed it, New England Icons is out! Pick it up at your local independent book store or at Amazon.

What a great project! It was a real treat to explore New England creating Iconic images for Bruce’s fine essays. Photographing the Mount Washington Hotel; finding the quintessential Vermont Sugar Shack; and taking part in the annual Thompson Ice House ice harvest are experiences I will not soon forget. Waiting for the driving snow to calm while shooting an historic Colonial house in Concord, with my son Will keeping the equipment clear of snow, also ranks.

A big Thank You to Bruce Irving, Norm Abram, Design New England Magazine, and all who had great suggestions for places to shoot, as well as all you wonderful people in the New England Design Community who have been so supportive and ‘packed the house’ at our book signing at the Cambridge Historical Society!

You can view all the images in the book plus many more here:

Bruce continues to write his wonderfully off the cuff and informative essays on New England. They can be found in Design New England Magazine and on his website.

Like the New Icons Face Book Page and keep track of what where up to!

“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.
