Kentuck Knob is the “other” Frank Lloyd Wright house in western Pennsylvania, about 15 minutes drive from Fallingwater. It’s worth a visit just to experience the contrasts between the two designs, not to mention the lovely art walk at the Knob.

Fallingwater

52 Frames: Four Weeks More

Whether it’s been with my iPhone or my Sony A7III, I’ve been working on my skills, which is pretty much the point for me of the project. Let’s dive in to four recent photos… Week 22: Wide Angle I have a big wide angle lens, which is great when I have big open spaces, but this week, I was in the ‘burbs of Lancaster, PA, and not really with the time to go find open space. Enter the iPhone 12 and…
