This project which we photographed for Essex Property Trust and Christiani Johnson Architects is being featured on the Residential Showcase of the Architectural Record website. This is a 171 unit mixed use multi-family project. We’ve put up a gallery of additional images that show both exterior in interior photos we captured.

In late April I made a visit to the Carrizo Plain. I’ve been visiting this area since 1987 when The Nature Conservancy hired me to create photos to use for fund raising. I happened to arrive as a spring storm was passing through. I even had snow as I drove over the Temblor range on the east side of the plain. Here’s an image I captured using a technique called High Dynamic Range photograhy (HDR) The Carrizo is located between the Caliente and Temblor ranges in central California. It represents what the Central Valley may have looked like before irrigation. This continues to be one of my favorite places to visit, with the openness and the untamed feeling. You can see more photos here.

One of our clients, McCamant & Durrett Architects won a Gold Nugget Award with an affordable housing project, Petaluma Avenue Homes. The project provides 45 units of affordable housing with solar power and a wildlife area. We photographed this project in March and one of the things we like is the open space and pathways. Vehicle parking is on the perimeter which keeps the open space available for community activities, and children. It’s like having a playground right outside your door.
By the way, while we’re talking about affordable housing check out the article in the May/June issue of Orion Magazine, Eco-City Dreaming by David Oates, on green building and affordable housing. You can listen to David reading the article or download the audio to listen at your convenience..
