Welcome to oncemany - I'm booking each day in 2010 for one client to have their business or individual message endorsed through a custom photograph + editorial profile.

I utilize this Blog and other means of Social Media including Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, and JPG Magazine to document and display the results to my subscribers, readers, contacts, fans, and followers. Scroll down for examples and read the About for further details.

Unfortunately, this little project didn't survive. A big, big Thank You to everyone that supported it. You can view my work here

The Polished Art of ZStone

shanerich



Zach Johnson has been a professional stone mason for over 11 years and owns his own business, ZStone, in Lafayette, CO. They provide a full line of the highest quality stonecraft around, from outdoor patios + walls to fireplaces, indoor installations, and hand-carved water-polished stone sinks.

ZStone isn’t your typical bid on a project, in and out type of a business. These guys are artistic craftsmen and the emphasis is placed on beauty and the timeless quality of the stone itself. Their designs are each custom + unique as they let the stone “speak” above all else. Yes, I know, stones can’t really talk, but what I aim to say is that ZStone takes careful attention to the shape, layers, and surface of each stone’s placement + use as its a very important part towards the resulting aesthetics + stability.

Their stone of choice is locally harvested sandstone, ages in the making, and is obtained through careful attention as its uprooted from the mountain and transported. ZStone creates beauty from these bones of the Earth and artistically delivers stunning design and handcrafted pieces to harmoniously combine your dwellings with the allure of nature.

[About this Shoot: I met Zach at his spot in Lafayette and there was plenty of stone, tools, and works in progress to instantly capture my attention. We did a few different style shots but ultimately it was the water-polished sink he was working on that sold me the most. These start from a single block of stone and are hand sculpted into beautiful (and heavy) works of art. He also had a finished sink made from some sort of black stone which I'm sure will make some owner very, very happy. Gotta see it to believe it.]
