mark pennington

our friend mark arrived today (and alas will head home tomorrow)
he is going to be doing the film on the project and we are all sooo excited about it!

this is a crane/camera holder/jib thing which reminds me greatly of a long armed octopus ride at the fair...
you can move the arms up and down and around while the bit holding the camera stays level...so the video is smooth and seemless....

how cool!!!

the heart behind this house is to build something beautiful...artistic....and yet ancient in a sense.
using materials that a family could have used 100 years ago and could still be standing today is much the same shape as it was first constructed (maybe even better with time)

we don't want a transient house that is here today and possible gone in another generation or so...but something more steadfast and permanent.

and surely josh and i love wooden homes too....we have a broad array of likes when it comes to building styles...but even then we would hope that the materials we might choose would be lasting and authentic...not plastic and careless in any way.

clay (our friend who is a fantastic designer/builder) has such a passion for building homes which are in a sense a work of art...individual and personal and at the same time timeless and real....

o i could go on!!!!

anywho...we are so excited for it all to begin and soon it will!
