Buildings I Have Known

I have a keen interest in architecture. Sometimes I think I missed my calling by not becoming an architect. My father built every house he ever lived in as an adult, and it was such a benefit for me to be a small part of those projects. In his younger years he did it all; masonry to carpentry, electrical to plumbing, even the finishes. As the saying goes, “the apple never falls far from the tree.” I built my first custom home in 2006 (hired out, not on my own), so that desire is still alive and and well inside me. It was a great experience, and I would like to do it again.

While traveling, I keep an eye out for interesting buildings and shapes I encounter along the way. Here I have placed a sampling of photos in a slide show using slide.com.
