miller house/outtake

One more from the Miller House - this one in the kitchen. Xenia LOVED her dinnerware, apparently. Although it is not as full as it was when she was alive, you can see an example of her teapot collection here. There were venetian glasses and some wonderful original Alexander Girard designed plates as well in the collection.

This is the view into one of the girl's bedrooms from the playroom, which was also Xenia's office, I believe. Their bedrooms were all identical except for the color scheme and all rather small - a bit like dormitory bedrooms.

I think this is my favorite room at the Miller House - the master bedroom. I really didn't want to leave it. The view was incredible and it had a lovely sitting area. I even liked the very Alexander Girard touch of the dolls above the headboard.

I think this is my favorite shot from the Miller House. It is from the master bedroom. Isn't it peaceful? Beyond those far trees is the river.

miller house/dwell magazine

Last December, you may recall I was in Indiana for awhile on assignment for Dwell. Well the fruits of my labor are in the new May issue of Dwell. The house I shot is the Miller House in Columbus, Indiana. I am proud to say this is the first article I have been commissioned to write and photograph. Pick up an issue and let me know what you think.

Eero Saarinen/ Columbus, Indiana

Eero Saarinen's North Christian Church in Columbus, Indiana. What is there to say? The pictures say it all...damn fantastic. Alexander Girard did the interiors. I found the dark wood and concrete a bit of a surprise. Not many churches really feel like sacred spaces to me. This room is the most sacred space I have ever been in.
