Kansas Department of Agriculture at KSU

Have you ever curled a 1,000 pound lead dumbbell? That’s basically what you are seeing on the first photo stacked on the foreground pallet. Theses are lifted by the crane and set onto a scale to calibrate loads of stuff, or something, I can’t remember the details. It was unreal to see 9,000 pounds sitting in such a condensed package. Shot for PGAV, most shots were to show the overall design of various areas of the agriculture lab’s interior and a few exteriors. We also got a few quick shots of Hale Library’s finished areas since our last visit.

Franklin Heights - 2101 Belleview, Kansas City, MO

Franklin Heights is a micro development in KCMO’s Westside Neighborhood consisting of four unique modern row houses that are all about the views. I got to shoot the first house in the project, and what a blast it was! The house is all about the view… and a close second is the dramatic staircase. More a work of art than a functional set of steps, the staircase is an experience bringing all levels together. I got to spend quite a bit of time on location, almost two full days. EFBC was generous with the space, allowing me to capture whatever felt right in the moment, as well as getting the shots from our list. We even grabbed a few portraits of the owners chillin’ a la Westside.
