A Trip to Fallingwater

Going Green... it seems everyday you see and hear this catch phrase. Recently Laurie and I visited Frank Lloyd Wrights most acclaimed work Fallingwater. This place was designed and built in 1936 and what an amazing work of art and architecture for it's time. Wright designed and built the house into the Pennsylvania landscape and is suspended above a waterfall. When touring the house you feel like you are not even in the house. The design of the house visually pulls your attention to the amazing view of the landscape through glass walls. Here is a link to the Fallingwater website http://www.paconserve.org/fw-building.asp If you are ever in western Pennsylvania I would suggest stopping and learning about the history and how Frank Lloyd Wright designed and built the house. I am glad Laurie and I found the time to visit and tour Fallingwater. I consider this work of art as a "Green" house since its built into the landscape. Here is photo I took from our visit.
Till next entry .... Joe

Sneak Preview of my new project....

Well the past month of March has been a very busy one. I have been working on several projects including a new business venture/graphics project, helping out my friend and fellow photographer Joe Daylor photograph a wedding. You can check out some of the wedding photos at Joe's Blog http://jdaylor.blogspot.com/. I must say I have a new respect for creative wedding photographers.

Laurie, Maverick and I also have made trip back to Pennsylvania to visit our families and spoil our nieces and nephew. So now that I am recharged I am ready to to finish up and release my new business venture/graphics project. Here is an overview of what I am working on and going to release soon. I have developed a series of graphic elements for professional photographers to help enhance their images with simple graphic elements. So here is a sneak peak of a finished image with my graphics added to it. Thanks to Joe Daylor Photography for the image and check out Joe's blog with the link above. Let me know what you think...
