Over the past 10 years I have been the photographer for several large format books on home design. I have been traveling coast to coast, doing laps to Hawaii, trekking down dirt roads in Minnesota, and driving up to Napa. All told there are seven titles. In addition to these, I am a contributing photographer to many titles each year.
California Country Style, Chronicle Books
Design and style writer Diane Dorrans Saeks asked me to be the photographer for this beautiful ode to country living. What a treat to go to great homes, meet wonderful hosts and come away with fresh photos. Michael Vanderbyl’s study in white was one of my favorite homes.
Hawaii A Sense of Place, Mutual Publishing
The book, Hawaii a Sense of Place by Mary Philpotts McGarth received the top book award for 2006 from the Hawaii Book Publishers Asociation. Awarded top photographer of the year by the Association was a mild mannered guy from the mainland. Mary’s unending energy and her devotion to the spirit of Hawaii is always an inspiration. Her great lessons in flower arranging have served many a photo shoot.
San Francisco Style, Chronicle Books
A classic and a who’s who of the SF design community. As the photographer it was a pure delight to be welcomed into these homes and take away great stories from some very talented folks.
