| The crew at First Place, where this night, the downs residents cook dinner for the senior residents. First place is a community where people with downs syndrome live an autonomous life in their own apartments in a complex with retirees who have their back when they need a little help or guidance. First Place is constructing a new complex right on light rail on Central Avenue. |
So the Goodmans folks had an interesting idea they wanted to bring to life, and at the recommendation of a friend, they had a look at my work, and decided my style and approach fit seamlessly.
The project, to photograph some of the organizations that the office structures company supports in the Phoenix and Tucson areas. Document what they do, for the creation of huge black and white prints to hang in the newly remodeled Goodmans office space to serve as a regular inspiration to Goodmans employees who work often split their work days between office structures sales and installation with their ongoing support of selected non-profits.
It was a fun and amazing project and I wanted to thank Julia Zolondz, Allison Van Dyke and the crew at Goodmans Office Structures for the opportunity to create this work.
