This Old House – September 2019

  1. “Here’s Kevin Barker on


the Jamestown roof again,


where they’re popping in a


dormer. It’s kind of an easy


shot, the heroic pose. All the


lines, including my sight line,


are pointing up to the sky. It


feels aspirational.”



  1. “This is at our new build,


up in Essex, and I’m taking


advantage of one of those


unique opportunities. I’m in


the lift with the TV camera


guy as he’s getting this shot,


looking down as the cupola


is being lifted into place.”



  1. “I love this kind of


‘heavenly light.’ And it’s


Norm, who can build


anything, just tapping


together two pieces of wood


using a simple $20 hammer,


nothing fancy.”



  1. “This is one of those


close-ups I like to take. It’s


Tommy in Weston, using a


basic carpenter’s tool, a


simple little block plane. How


could you go wrong when


you see a pair of well-worn


hands working like this and


the wood curling?”
