... The title of this blog has to do with a Will Bruder quote I heard while attending the University of Arizona College of Architecture, Planning and Landscape Architecture (CAPLA) during the Fall of 1999 - "Learn to master the trash can and you might become something" - It really resonated with me and has stuck with me to this day. I suppose for me the concept hit hard that although you can discard an idea, concept, sketch, design, whatever for a certain project you may be able to revisit it at a later date under different circumstances - In other words designs never die, they evolve, they hibernate, they circle-back but they never die...Or maybe he was just telling us to quit our ideas of becoming Architects and to go live in a public park somewhere; which, given the current state of the industry probably would not have been such a bad idea...

That is what this Blog will be for me - With over a decade in the industry I have come to realize that what I thought I would be doing on a daily basis and what I actually do are pretty darn different - BUT - I still have ideas, I still have hopes and I still have my creativity; So, I figured this would be a good outlet...I will share my thoughts on work and the industry as well as whatever moments of creativity I can muster - And, yes, at the direction of my Wife I will keep the swearing to an absolute minimum.

Cheers...B.

LCNM SUNSET CIRCA 1999:

... So, if you did not know by now I grew up in Southern New Mexico in a small city with a population of around 90,000 people - Great wide open spaces, desert landscapes - Yes, Hatch Green Chiles - And sunsets like these:


I guess I am feeling a little homesick - Or maybe I am just missing my past life when I had time to take photographs like these and be creative; back when I did not have to chase a two year old around...Both, maybe?

Viva Las Cruces...Holla' at your Boy,
