Now is the time. Yes….I’m concerned I’ll have a tax audit initiated from this benign post, but one needs to stand up and say no to this. It is all so wrong.

I love being given the opportunity to photograph gardens in all four seasons. These wintertime pictures show a beautifully successful collaboration of Oehme Von Sweden, landscape architects, Bell Guilmet design and John B. Murray, architects. ____________________________________

More of San Xavier del Bac. The moorish influence in the brilliant white stucco, the arches and bell towers continued in the style of the Spanish Baroque. __ ____-

San Xavier del Bac
Paradoxically, the forces aligning to preserve and protect great cultural legacy are sometimes poverty or indifference. The wonderful Greek Revival houses of the 1820’s looked to many style-conscious owners of the 1840’s dated and needing Italianate updating. Cities like Charleston South Carolina, or neighborhoods like Soho inadvertently preserved their character partly due to declining economic circumstances.
San Xavier del Bac was founded in 1692 and completed in 1797. It is a Spanish Baroque design with Moorish elements. It continues in its original function as a parish church and school serving the Tohono O’odham community. It has suffered earthquakes and periods of neglect, but is remarkably intact inside and out. ____________________________________

San Xavier del Bac is an 17th C. mission church located in the desert south of Tucson. This detail on close inspection reveals the inclusion of animals such as this small mouse huddled in the scroll. ____________________________________

Three generations of architectural photography celebrating the season and Sir John Soane at The Links Club last night. Big fun (although, as a general rule, one shouldn’t be photographed with a giant martini) @davidsundbergphoto@peteraaron ____________________________________
