You’ve already seen the other side of this incredible, corten steel pool house with the green roof when you helped me choose the one representative shot for this project. Well, I am revisiting this shoot once again to cull the best images for a design competition entry.
I have a few more views and details to edit from the day, but we definitely need that image that just makes you want to stop everything and jump in. It’s a gorgeous and innovative structure by Beinfield Architecture, but it’s still a pool house.
So, pray tell, which one most makes you want to grab your swimsuit (or not, if you know what I mean) and be transported to this private haven?
I am a huge fan of pools. Huge. I’ve been enjoying ours tremendously. And I hope you, too, are enjoying your summer with a bit of fun and luxury.
If you’re new here, on Wednesdays I open up the comments for you to tell me which view from a recent photo shoot you prefer. And why. I love hearing what you have to say. You can peruse past Which One? features here.
If you are anywhere in the Northeast, I don’t have to tell you it is hot out there today. As much as I love being outdoors with my camera, I was glad to be out of the sweltering heat editing these photos at my comfy desk.
This incredible, drool-worthy, modern, steel, pool house would be a good place to be today though. We’ve got tons of amazing shots from the days we spent over there last week, but I could use some help deciding on the best rear view. So go to it people, leave a comment to let me know which one of these three views speaks to you the loudest.
I know you can’t see the gorgeous pool, but I’m saving those for later. Plus, I don’t want to torture you if you can’t get to a pool right now. I’m sweet like that.
And if you’re new to the blog and would like to check out other Which One? features, you can go here.
So, today we are back in Brooklyn re-visiting my favorite tree. With blossoms this time! Our first visit with Eugene and his plushie tree was an incredible happened upon adventure, but this time Eugene was no where to be found.
His advice to return when the tree was in bloom did not disappoint, even though I didn’t get to ask him our list of questions. The fabric of the blossoming stuffie tree is pretty phenomenal I think. And now I’m obsessed. I need to see the tree in the snow, and in the fall. Must. See.
And maybe next time I’ll be lucky enough to catch Eugene again.
It’s incredible to me how up close there are all these countless personalities. And from afar, it’s more of a celebratory explosion of color. Every time I look, there is something different that pops out at me.
Do you have any characters in your neighborhood doing anything creative and/or coloring outside of the lines with their homes?
from a little, much needed vacation. There aren’t too many photos from the trip, so I thought I’d give you these two that capture the mood of the weekend. A mood I’m hoping to carry through this summer of 2012. Piña colada anyone? xoxo
What’s your favorite summer cocktail?
This post is a recurring feature I call ‘Which One?’ where I ask you to help me decide which is the stronger, more compelling image. Usually my ‘Which One?’ helps me determine which image to present to a client. Today it’s just my own interest. (This is also the shot in the opposite direction of the fog in my last post.)
So it’s also the beginning of a potentially new feature here, which I haven’t quite named yet. The concept is simple: it’s my favorite image from a shoot, and I’m certain the client is never going to use it. Basically, if I don’t post it here, no one’s ever going to see it, and it will live, alone and forgotten, in the cobwebs of my memory. If I remember it at all. How sad… This one, in particular will not see the light of day because Architects like blue sky. Period. And I took these same shots 5 hours later with an incredible blue sky, but I’m crazy about these comparatively so I’m not even gonna show you the blue sky.
I love these shots because, for me, they really capture New England in March. And I can see that charm without it being cloyingly sweet.
Which one would you choose? I’d love to hear.
{Update: I was totally wrong. The client chose both of these photos yesterday!}
