Taking Prefab to the Next Level



I photographed Marmol Radziner's 'Desert House' for a Hasselblad H4D print display a couple of a weeks ago. This stunning prefab home, located in Desert Hot Springs, has been featured everywhere from the LA Times to Le Monde.

Amangiri - Travel & Leisure's #1 Resort for 2011



I just returned from the magnificent Amangiri resort in southern Utah. It's a one of two Aman resorts in the U.S., built into the stunning surroundings of Canyon Point. The shot above is of the amangiri suite, which features a private pool and outdoor dining & lounge area.

Surfers

Alinea

Here's a peak behind the scenes of the #1 fine dining restaurant in the US. At 2:15 p.m. on Friday, the kitchen is bustling with activity in preparation for evening service.

Dry ice starts to engulf the kitchen in a cloud, making it almost more interesting to be an onlooker in the kitchen than a guest in the main dining room.
