Micro Sculpture – Ted Talk by Amazing Artist Willard Wiggan

Posted on Aug 18, 2009 in Design, In Bed with Ted, Miscellanea | One Comment

Micro Sculptor Willard Wiggan was an undiagnosed dyslexic 5 year old when he started skipping school, and escaping to a miniature fantasy world, where he became an architect for the ants in his garden shed.  His talent has grown into an ability that can only be described as amazing.  Willard creates sculptures on the heads of pins, and in the eyes of needles using his hands, a microscope, and tools he fashions from the likes of the hair of a fly, or an eyelash.  His work, which has been described as “the eighth wonder of the world”, can take up to three month to create, and is sometimes so small it can’t be seen by the human eye!  Listen to his talk at TED, and check out his mindboggling art at his website, willard-wigan.com

Interior Design – Modern Mountain Kitchen

Posted on May 31, 2009 in Architecture, Design, Photo Updates | One Comment

I recently finshed post production on an Interior Design Photography project for Susan Parker, a Designer from Vancouver.  In an awesome place right on the Nicklaus North Golf Course in Whistler, BC.  Susan designed a Modern Mountain Kitchen in granite, stainless and slate with red accents to make it feel amazingly warm, but clean and modern at the same time.

With the same approach, Susan also designed the living space surrounding the kitchen for an up to date cozy ski town feel.  The interior is accented by a brilliant custom stairway designed by Architect Dennis Maguire.

Modern mountain style interior design is one of my favourite things to shoot, clean but warm and inviting.
