Side by side, the images tell the story. The same architectural bones.
All playful, colorful, useful, and really good designs. But a different current moving through them.
The four pillars of good design: functionality, reliability, usability, and aesthetics
The secret isn’t better subjects. It’s better relationships.
Rough next to polished. Wood next to metal. The satisfying imbalance that keeps us leaning in. Close enough to love each other. Far enough apart to breathe.
I’m beginning work on a new project. Conversation Pieces. It will be about how to make objects/scenes/photographic subjects talk to each other. It’s about space, at least that is one part of the conversation. When to let the pictures have space to breathe and when to lean in. There will be words and pictures, and this is just the beginning. I love this part; in the beginning my mind swirls with ideas and they all seem possible.
Can it be? Is just living my life enough?
