It is a great honor to have an architect in the family now that Christopher has chosen a vocation that posseses both physical and artistic characteristics of creating new features in the world. I would have to say that given a second chance, I would have like to have choosen a similar career, either design or construction. Although I would probably not make much money at it.

Whether a lone house on an empty hill, or and faciful niche in a building's facade, I can take special appreciation of the details and unspoken history behind the plan to create and construct the object. The following images caught my interest enough for me to take the time to whip out the camera.

We had the opportunity to visit New York City in May of 2007 which affoded many opportunity to see and photograph some of the best architecture in American and the world. I really couldn't get enough of it. I might have to go back sometime when I can roam.
