last Friday evening, I attended the Mixed Taste event at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Denver. http://www.mcadenver.org/index.php/programs/Mixed_Taste_Summer_Series The idea of this is to attempt to ferret out the strange and serendipitous connections between two disparate topics. Two short talks are presented on two completely different topics. Last Friday that was Chef Jorel Pierce discussing [...]
As I am out with the dog each morning, I run past this post, the last resort of lost cat notices and grass cutting solicitations. It is invariably empty of such notices. With the advent of listservs and Yahoo groups, the electronic bulletin board has replaced the neighborhood-centered kiosk or simple light post as the [...]
One of my ongoing projects is the construction of a new house up Sunshine Canyon just west of Boulder, Colorado. My clients, long-time residents, lost their house in the Fourmile Fire last Fall and we are trying to replace the spirit and energy of that house while making a new design that is better suited [...]

The house looks out to the south to capture views from Denver to the Indian Peaks creating a syncopated panorama. The entire structure is design as [...]
Ah, I’m hungry. He entered Davy Byrne’s. Moral pub. He doesn’t chat. Stands a drink now and then. But in leapyear once in four. Cashed a cheque for me once. What will I take now? He drew his watch. Let me see now. Shandygraff? – Hellow, Bloom! Nosey Flynn said from his nook. – Hello, [...]
I went down to the San Luis Valley to photograph some of the small village chapels that dot that flat, dusty landscape.
