Aaron Leitz Photography

It’s been a little over a year now since The Protege came on board here at Aaron Leitz Photography and things are progressing nicely.

He’s been dressing more appropriately and not dropping things as much. And I’m a lot more at ease these days when traveling on assignment now that I have The Protege to help with final gear check and packing….

I’m in San Francisco this week photographing a few residential projects. Had an afternoon free and walked over and took a few photographs of Saint Mary’s Cathedral in the Japantown neighborhood. It’s an interesting monolith of a building.

Well I’m back home in soggy Seattle after a beautiful few days of photographing the impressive set-piece home at Mountain Landing in the heart of the Bay of Islands. Easily one of the most stunning locations I’ve ever visited.

Chillaxing waiting for the clouds to clear…

After a nice day of rest from my hectic five day photo shoot in San Francisco, I’m off to New Zealand this week to photograph a stunning residence in the Bay of Islands.

Thank goodness I’ve got The Protege’ to help with the packing…

Spending a gorgeous week in San Francisco photographing some great residential projects. More images to come…

Here are some scenes I came across while searching for good places to eat and drink beer….

Art Institute of Chicago Museum Grand Staircase

In Chicago for a few days this week…

Dinner tonight at Rick Bayless’ Frontera Grill: house guacamole, chicken mole enchilada and a champagne margarita = delicious.

Of course Chicago is legendary for its architecture.

So it wasn’t surprising to see this McDonald’s on the stroll downtown…

On final approach above a wintery Idaho landscape. Photography of a new residential project by George Suyama and Doug Rasar is set to begin tomorrow morning at 6am. Temperature will be a brisk 8°F….

View from my seat as I bid farewell to sunny SoCal. Spent some time this week in Newport Beach photographing a new residential project for Graham Architecture.

View of the Joint Security Area of the Korean Demilitarized Zone from Dora Outpost. Look closely and you’ll see the flags of both North and South Korea flying on opposite ends of the zone.

View after being yelled at for taking photographs beyond the designated line.

I’m in Seoul, South Korea all this week photographing a very awesome project. We’ve been pretty busy with the project but hope to get some time to check out the city a bit. Lots of interesting buildings here.
