Poised for Action
So, what do you see? What do you think? How does this strike you? I have to say, when I first saw this photo, it struck a chord deep within me. Beauty aside, what a simple statement of order instilled. Composure. Such calm. I love it.
Morrison, The Connection and One Big Dream
It’s crazy how it can take half a lifetime sometimes for someone to get a clear understanding of who they are. I’ve often thought of myself to be of a rebellious nature. A reckless of sorts. In reality though, I actually love order. I love for things to be congruent. I think if you boil it down, for me, it’s an appreciation and a … Read More Morrison, The Connection and One Big Dream
What is Well Composed
Sorry, it’s been so long, but things have really been crazy. With that said, I want to re-introduce the site. Tweaking and re-vamping it a bit. Less Words ~ More Photos. Keeping things short and sweet while cutting to the point. Heck, I’m busy, your busy, you don’t want to hear me blab on and on, we just want to look at cool homes, Right? So what … Read More What is Well Composed
Charge On!
Hey ~ we’ll get straight to the meat with this one. It’s Thanksgiving weekend and I’m having a wonderful time down in Macon, GA. Enjoying the season with the extended family and soaking in the beautiful weather. As with a lot of family get-togethers though, some of the conversations have settled in around current events. All the basic junk that you hear over and over. Kind of a steady … Read More Charge On!
The Source Of Character
The other day I wrote a post about an amazing home that we had a chance to explore and about the conversations that subsequently developed surrounding the “Character” of the home. How it primarily goes back to the level of thought that is put forward into the formation of the project. As I think about it a little bit more though, there is another piece of … Read More The Source Of Character
More Than Words Can Express
You know I love architecture. I live for it. I suppose that most people get that about me. (Hopefully, not to the point of bordering on excessive / just to be seen as a genuine passion). That’s certainly why I do what I do. Whether restoring an older home back to it’s original beauty or bringing a new one up out of the ground to stand on its own, … Read More More Than Words Can Express
Worthy of the Admiration
Hey Guys ~ I’m back. Man, has it been crazy over here. We’ve just moved into our new home and are loving every minute of getting adjusted. There are a lot of great stories here, but, I’m going to hold onto to those for now. You see, I’ve got another story that simply needs to be told. This evening, I was out for a run … Read More Worthy of the Admiration
Random Shots ~ New Life / Quintessentials / Treasures / Ruckus
Yep, that’s me. I’d be the idiot that you would usually find hanging off the back of a jet ski with a camera in my hand. In fact, if anyone could draw a caricature of that (Ahem … Kane Hawkins, who happens to be the best illustrator I’ve ever met) I’d love to have one as my new profile pic. Anyway, here’s a little randomness from the Lake. Building ~ Who doesn’t get excited … Read More Random Shots ~ New Life / Quintessentials / Treasures / Ruckus
Ahh…The Waters
Ahh… the waters. The restoring, regenerating, replenishing power of the waters. Nothing that I have found can quite renew my spirit the way that Lake Burton can. I’ve been wanting to write about the lake again for a while now, but, sometimes a post just needs to develop on it’s own. This has been one of those posts. You see, it has taken the unfolding of … Read More Ahh…The Waters
ICAA / Bobby McAlpine / And, an Amazing Evening ~ The Follow Up…
First, to the Home. Once again, the ICAA knocks it out of the park. This time with a guest lecture (for members only) by McApline Tankersly’s own Bobby McAlpine. The location was in a Home of one of his few Atlanta projects. Even though it’s tucked away in the heart of Buckhead, I’ve driven past it many times and always wanted to check it out first hand. Before actually … Read More ICAA / Bobby McAlpine / And, an Amazing Evening ~ The Follow Up…
Miraculously Saved
The craziest thing happened to me the other day. I was a little early to a committee meeting that was being held in a local architectural firm’s office so I took my seat at the conference room table hoping to catch up on some e-mails when an amazing photograph caught my eye. You see, this Home has been one of my family’s favorites for years. It had … Read More Miraculously Saved

Here’s a secret…
I came across a post today that struck such a chord with me that I felt compelled to share some thoughts on it here. Ever wonder what it is about those that seem to be at the top of their fields. Those that have achieved that pinnacle mark and are esteemed above and beyond the majority of their peers. Those that are striding ahead, even in … Read More Here’s a secret…
