Frank LLoyd Wright
Organic Architecture
Let me introduce you to the "World's Greatest Architect," a man I know well and fortunately never met.
I've been an official photographer for the Preservation Association for several decades and have had unlimited access to all of Frank's works. Living only a few minutes from Taliesin in Spring Green, Wisconsin, I could roam unencumbered through this estate anytime. This flexibility allowed me to photograph during ideal lighting situations that are often fleeting and only ideal for moments.

My exclusive contract with the association allows me to share my images via electronic display or computer renderings -- such as this graphic novel you are reading. My photographs in this section are unavailable for download or purchase.
I captured Taliesin in Winter immediately after a fresh snowfall. Latter, the view is quite different without the sun in the ideal position and footprints marring the landscape.

Why am I happy to skip encountering Frank personally? In an exclusive network interview, the moderator's opening remark, "One of America's greatest architects..." was interrupted rather violently.
"America? Why just America? I'm the greatest architect in the entire world!"
Fortunately, knowing the man is best done through immersion in his creations, not his bombastments. While others on the Taliesin staff are often occupied guiding tours, repairing buildings, and so forth, I have had the luxury of simply being at Taliesin, visualizing his genius.
