Oklahoma City Federal Building

I am pleased to share one of my latest projects for Jockimo Advanced Architectural Products at Oklahoma City Federal Building. 

To view the full gallery, click on any of the images below.

Designed by Ross Barney+Jankowski Architects

This powerful landmark balances both security, access, and a local language of materiality incredibly well. This important landmark was built to replace the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building after the 1995 bombing where 168 people perished.

I was honored to be given access to document it through the lens of two quality products from Jockimo.

1) Jockimo Laminated Cast Glass Hand Rail

These Luminous panels punctuate the paths on the north and south of the building that lead to central public entrance. Providing moment's of pause along one's journey and an opportunity to reflect on both a past and a present.

2) Jockimo UL Ultimate Privacy™ Glass Flooring 

32 Glass Flooring Panels were used to create this bridge unites the halves of this building at the central atrium. They project an image of fragility while simultaneously expressing resilience in their utility. There is also a steadfastness in the simple metal framing that elegantly piece these panels of translucent panels together.

This short promotional film was also a product I produced for Jockimo. If it were possible to film more here, I would take it. 

I want to personally thank those who provided their help with coordinating access and permission in order to make this project happen. Special care and attention was made throughout this project to respect the men and women who continue to serve at this facility.

BNI Portrait "Mini-Sessions"

"Business Network International is the largest business networking organization in the world."

BNI creates the opportunity to build strong relationships with professionals in almost any service you can imagine. If you know one person in a BNI chapter, chances are they know exactly who they can refer you to for any business, home, or event solution you need.

I was invited to BNI's visitor day by a great guy Larry Fredlund, who also encouraged me to provide BNI members and guests with the opportunity to get quality portrait for their promotional material. Those who were able to stick around after the meeting and participate are down below. I would love to do this again if the opportunity is there.

I love to do environmental portraits with my clients. However it isn't always practical for many employees at a company to meet one-on-one with a photographer for an hour or two. A 5-10 minute "Mini-Session" is a great opportunity to get just a few images to choose from while still having enough time with each person to relax a little and have some fun.

If you'd like to learn more about setting up your own Mini-Sessions, I'd love to hear from you.

For those who participated, just click on your image and you'll be taken to your gallery.

If you were having trouble looking for the "Buy" button, which most of you probably were, there was a "Virtual Switch" that got flipped at some point. 

You should all be able to see the buy button in the upper right corner of the image. If you have anymore trouble please email me anytime.
