Should be done in a couple more weeks.

wohoo! so excited...but a little scared too. It's my first restaurant so we shall see how it turns out.

I specified walnut for the majority of the millwork. I LOOOOVE walnut it's such a beautiful wood. It has a distinct grain but isn't overpowering. Also, walnut doesn't have the overpowering red pigment that for example cedar has.

When I was reviewing their project photographs it felt like...like the feeling one gets from putting the right jigsaw piece into a jigsaw puzzle. Their style is something that I understand and when I say 'understand' it's like a feeling in my gut. Their design is very simple, true to its surroundings and incredibly poetic. Also, one of their projects Leiti 360 Resort hit a chord in my heart. The site is very similar to a place I grew up in Pakistan on the foothills of the Himalayan mountains 7,000 feet above sea level. If you have time read up on the history and philosophy of their practice. I'm in love.

Another project: Tara House

I guess because I was so back logged I lost the motivation to start.

But today I went home early because i wasn't feeling well and I'm sitting here at night working on a project because I have a friggin deadline on wed! It's our biggest project. Yea, perfect timing to be sick.

I guess I'll start by posting a shoot I did for a friend of a friend. The friend is Adrianna and her friends (my subjects) are Cait + Tom. It was a lot of fun meeting them for the first time. Tom left for England the day after the shoot so I really wanted to give them some photos they can cry over as they'll be in a long distance relationship for a while. To prep for the shoot Adrianna used her skills as a makeup artist to produce even awesomer pictures.
