Wide Open Space          Fireplace            Lamp          Bowl with Winged Seeds

In these photographs taken inside the house, Ed captured the moods of SAMARA starting with the wide open space of the living room. The fireplace, located near the center or heart of the house, provides occupants with feelings of warmth, secuity and shelter. The lamp, located in the guest bedroom, provides a quiet and peaceful environment through its soft glow of light. The theme of SAMARA, which sets the mood for the entire house and property, is conveyed through the bowl with winged seeds collected from pine trees on the property.

Photographer's Comments
The first photograph is one of my favorites. It shows Frank Lloyd Wright's hidden entry to the far left, with low ceiling, exploding into wide open space of the living room. Other features such as, recessed lighting, using the same materials inside as outside, clerestory windows, continuity of design and even a hidden television, if you know where to look. The second photograph shows the fireplace and its corner without any visible means of support, raking of the interior mortar same as the outside, and the Cherokee red floor, one of Frank Lloyd Wright's trade marks.
