Cindy Ortega for Eco-Structure Magazine

My portrait of Cindy Ortega, Senior VP of Energy and Environmental Services for MGM Mirage, photographed at the new CityCenter in Las Vegas is now featured in the March 2010 issue of Eco-Structure magazine. We did the shoot in the beautiful pocket park area between the Aria casino & hotel and the Crystals shopping complex.

Ms. Ortega did the impossible. She oversaw the "greening" of the largest privately-financed construction project in history. No small task. She was gracious throughout the shoot and her enthusiasm for the project beemed through her smile. There's no doubt her pioneering management of this daunting task will forge a path for all new construction on this scale to do so with minimal impact on the environment. If CityCenter, under the skilled guidance like Ms. Ortega's, can do it for a 16,797,000 square foot, $11 billion (with a "B") complex, anyone can.

Quote of the day from the shoot while discussing cheap, overused, environmentally caustic plastics: "You know that new car smell everyone loves? It's really bad for you."

PDN - City Guide: L.A.

I was recently interviewed by PDN Magazine about my new home, Los Angeles, for their City Guide series. Upon getting my issue in the mail today, it was nice to see that some of my comments were included.

As I've been doing a lot lately, I talked up my new neighborhood, the Arts District. But this isn't just blind evangelization. I was proud to share what's going on down here in our little dusty corner of downtown.

In addition to the sub headline lead-in on the first page, my recommendations of Church & State and Café Metropol made it into the "Where to Eat" inset. (For the record, I also recommended the Royal Clayton's.)

Architect Mag Cover - Oct. 2008 Issue

The feature (and cover) I shot last September for Architect Magazine is currently on the stands.

The cover features Vivan Loftness of Carnegie Mellon University. The entire story is about "green" building construction and whether these new, more earth-friendly designs are truly living up to their promises of sustainability.
