Taliesen West is the former home of famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Located in the desert hills of Scottsdale, Arizona, The home is build into the hillside to blend into the surrounding countryside. When my family was driving across the country we stopped here and it was one of the most unique places I have ever seen. While I can’t say I enjoyed the architecture style, it was stylish and functional. I also thought it was cool that there is an architecture school located on the location for students to learn about the man who built the building they are working in. I don’t know a lot about the building itself but the fact I got to tour a place that was created by one of the most famous modern architects was an honor and a great story to tell.

This is the Williams’ household, this piece of architecture probably means more to me than any other place in the world. My home is located right here in Norman Oklahoma. We moved here when I was seven years old. Although I was so young, I remember the entire process so clearly. My father is both the architect and interior designer of our home. It took about three years to complete our home and to move in. The style of our home is French Contemporary. This building has influenced my life In a positive way because when I think of my home I think of all of the amazing memories made here with friends and family. I think of all the pets that have lived with us over the years.  I think of all the holidays spent here. I always enjoy giving guests tours of our house and talking about the entire process. 

For Christmas one year our gift from my parents was a trip to New York City. During our trip my parents took us to the 9/11 memorial and see where the towers stood. Even though I was too young to remember the actual attack, it was mind-blowing to learn about everything that people saw and had to endure during that horrific attack. I will never forget seeing the rosses that people had put into the memorial where their loved ones name was engraved. It was also incredible to see the amount of love and support for each other all around the memorial.

This post is basically a follow up of my last post. After starting my photography business in high school and doing many photo shoots, including senior pictures, prom pictures and even a wedding, I slowly faded away from photography to a point where I basically stopped taking pictures. Then I started my freshman year, and basically sat in my room and did nothing. The one thing I did was travel to Oklahoma City and explore in my free time with my friend Parker. This is where I slowly got my passion back to take pictures, and Parker showed my a ton of nice places. One of these nice places would be the Skydance Bridge in Oklahoma City. In fact, the picture shown above was taken by me. This has a lot of significance because it was a time where I gained my confidence back in photography with pictures so simple, but to me so beautiful.

When I first came to OU from California, I was a scared kid who didn’t know a single soul, and once I got to Walker Tower for the first time, I instantly thought “this doesn’t make me feel any better.” My nine months living in Walker Tower was arguably the most exhausting experience of my life. Within the first five minutes of me being in my dorm room, the toilet paper holder broke off. On top of this, there was mold in our shower and our hall smelled like mold the entire time. The fact that this building still stands for more freshman to live in should be a crime against humanity. I was just lucky to have a safe haven in my fraternity house to go back to.

This is the clubhouse at OUs golf course Jimmie Austin. The clubhouse itself isn’t very extravagant, actually it’s a very simple layout. It has a pro shop and a restaurant. The clubhouse also has outdoor seating on the second floor that’s nice to hangout on after a morning 18 . Me and my boys go golfing here Every Sunday morning. As we pull up just as the sun is rising with coffee in hand and dew still on the grass is when I’m at my absolute happiest. This clubhouse represents not only the fantastic game of golf but also time I get to spend with my best friends playing the greatest game ever created.
