"A Scotsman with an eye refined by thousands of hours looking through a camera's viewfinder has brought his interpretation of a modern, multi-media artists' space to Friday Harbor.

The sleek all-white studio Concepia is designed to fill multiple creative roles, but is at its hart a functional, adaptable photo studio, a tightly controlled environment for portraiture and image making."

I was commissioned to take exterior and interior architectural photographs of a San Juan Island house designed by Anna Hamilton of D+A Studio, who specialize in custom residential, commercial and urban design. This house was Anna's personal project and earned it a 3-Star Built Green certification and an AIA Seattle 2009 "What Makes It Green" Top 10 award.

Seattle Magazine decided to feature her house in a July 2009 article about Green Design in the Northwest. With a monthly circulation of approximately 70,000, Seattle Magazine is one of the premier lifestyle magazines in Washington.

Island Rec Front Cover

Apr 09 2009 |01:37 AM

Back in July 2008 I woke up from an intense dream. I was performing perfect 360 flips over and over again. Of course I have never skateboarded in my life, so the dream was particularly fun. With that in mind I decided to offer my services to Island Rec to photograph their annual skateboarding and BMX competition in Friday Harbor.

I had a great day, and I think the kids enjoyed having me around too. Seemed like they would try that little bit harder now that a professional photographer was around.

You can see all the images from this and previous year's competitions at www.sanjuanskate.org
