Influenced by pop culture, art history and architecture, this selection of images stems from when I was a boy.
I was 10 when I saw a photo of the iconic view of Fallingwater, created by Christopher Little.
Since then, architecture and form itself has continued to inspire me. For a time I worked at the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy, the nonprofit organization tasked with preserving Fallingwater since 1963. That period of time had an indelible effect on my photography. As did recreating photos of the house over the waterfall by Luke Swank and Ezra Stoller.
Other influences include photographers Julius Shulman and Rene Burri, architect Oscar Niemyer, pop artist Wayne Thiebaud, designer Ray Eames, real estate developer Joseph Eichler, and of course, Frank Lloyd Wright.
