I’ve pulled my single collection of travel photos out of ‘Other Work’ and created a new ‘Travel’ section.  I’ve added photos from Venice and plan to keep adding places as I sort though all my vacation photos.

Cure of Ars Middle School


As I understand it, these classrooms (see interiors here) are built into what was the church’s original sanctuary— though that building has more recently housed the school’s gymnasium.  That function is now relocated to the new Parish Activity Center.

Wonderful design work by GouldEvans.

Lone Elm Park


Another lovely park with buildings designed by SFS Architecture, this one in Olathe, KS.  A little late for ideal pic-nic weather, but keep this one in mind for the next warm day that comes up...

Hawk Ridge Park


New amphitheater, boardwalk, and shelter building in Raymore, MO.  Beautiful community park around a snug little Johnson Lake.

The COVID has thrown a wet blanket on productions, but shows will happen and they’ll find a wonderful home here.

Designed by SFS Architecture. More photos HERE.

NAIA Offices


New offices!  Almost makes up for there not being actual basketball this year.  OK there might have been actual basketball this year, but I will confess I haven’t even looked.  I am a clueless, lazy fan.  No denying it.

Excellent interiors by RMTA:  New photography client, long time past architecture colleague!

St. Joseph Catholic Church; Westphalia, MO


A gorgeous church built in 1848, restoration by Conrad Schmitt Studios.  

Westphalia is a beautiful town built by German settlers in Missouri’s wine region SE of Jefferson City.  Grab the kids and pack a lunch...

Ottawa University Esports Arena


OK I’ll admit I’m an oldster who didn’t know Esports was a ‘thing’, but this place is undeniably cool.  If the COVID will go away, I might get to capture the arena in action, with actual people.  So stay tuned.

Designed into an existing theater in the historic administration building by SFS Architecture.

Also at the University and also designed by SFS is the new press box and hall of fame addition to the campus stadium
