OPERATIONS DIRECTOR

Howdy! I'm a Maryland-based photographer, retoucher, and writer. Here at APALMANAC, I curate Project of the Week and make sure things run smoothly behind the scenes.

When I'm not at my desk, you can usually catch me fishing or drinking a margarita.

Finally, the Perfect Podcast for Architectural Photographers

Finally, the Perfect Podcast for Architectural Photographers

by Lexi Taciak
On edit days when I’m glued to my desk, unable to sit in silence, I cruise through entire discographies of music by the bushel.

It seems though, that there’s an endless amount of things to do at my desk and a finite amount of genuinely good content to consume.

Bernat Tubau Photographs a New Take on a Bygone Nordic Church

by Lexi Taciak
In 2009, Våler Kirke (Vaaler Church for us English speaking folk) was lost to a fire. Mourned by the Norwegian town, a global competition was opened up for the church’s reconstruction. Architect Espen Surnevik was the victor and created the new design for the church which honors its heritage while putting a modern spin on the “rebirth” of the original structure from 1805.

Chase Daniel Takes Us Inside a Perfect Palm Springs Residence

by Lexi Taciak
It’s official. I want to be Chase Daniel when I grow up. I could go on and on about his work forever, but it’s probably just easier to show you how beautiful, clean, and well thought out each of his compositions are. I drooled over Chase’s website for an absurd amount of time — scrolling through Japanese/Texas fusion restaurants, smokey bars, cowboy boot peddlers, cabins, and ranches.

Here on Architectural Photography Almanac, we tend to focus on — well — architecture. Not to be overlooked though, is photography with an emphasis on the design of a space.

Strap on your swimmies because Norwegian photographer Ivar Kvaal is literally taking us under the sea in this Project of the Week.
