Ever since I photographed Spaceport America in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico in 2016, I have wanted to visit the Eero Saarinen designed TWA Terminal at JFK In New York. It reopened in 2019 as the TWA Hotel and as the year came to a close, I found an opportunity to photograph the design-heavy iconic building.
On assignment with Lincolnville, Maine artist, Dudley Zopp. Her latest custom hand-crafted book, Mystery of Five, is available now.
The reviews are in for the recently released Sir Banister Fletcher’s Global History of Architecture, 21st Edition by Bloomsbury Press in partnership with the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and the University of London.
Pleased and proud that my documentation of Bruno Taut’s historic Kyu Hyuga Bettei in Atami, Japan was selected for inclusion in this monumental book released in 2019.
What the critics are saying:
“Book of the Century” – The American Institute of Architects
“Half the pleasure, as half the volume, of Banister Fletcher is its pictures. The thousands of photographs are, as always in Banister Fletcher, unimprovably fine.” – The Times Educational Supplement
“…the bible of architectural history… Banister Fletcher remains a potted history with remarkably pithy writing.” – Building Magazine
“The tome has been bought for 100 years by every architectural student who could possibly scrape together the shillings.” – Architectural Review
“A thundering classic … No serious fan of architecture should be without it” – The American Institute of Architects
“It will continue its usefulness beyond the years of study and become an additional aid to everyday practice.” – Times Higher Education Supplement
“It will remain one of the most thumbed tomes in Building Design’s office library” – Building Design
“It is such a remarkable book, containing so much detail and so skilfully illustrated, that it is a must for all architectural and surveying offices” – ASI Journal
“An easy-to-use reference book with all the world’s major architecture described, explained and, in many cases, fully illustrated.” – B & M Architecture & Design

After years in the making, I am pleased, proud, and thrilled to announce that my second book project with Tilbury House Publishers will be released later this month. Restoring Your Historic House, by Scott T. Hanson, is a comprehensive guide to the restoration and rehabilitation of historic homes using an approach that respects and maintains the key character-defining features of the house while updating it to accommodate life in the 21st century.
Interspersed between chapters are thirteen featured homes, prime examples of sensitive restorations. For the past three years I have traveled throughout Maine, and across the United States to photograph these featured homes. Here is a direct link to see each of the homes in detail. I encourage visitors to also visit the author’s page with all the details on how to order – here.
More from the road trip that was…
Forty-five years after our first cross country road trip, my sister, Kate, and I headed out on our second trip. Three weeks and eight thousand miles later we returned home after seeing and photographing amazing vistas, natural wonders, and multiple locations of intrigue. Enjoy the ride through the plains, canyons, badlands, prairies, gypsum desert…indeed, a very large array, and more…
