Museum of Alabama photo shoot - just awful

For Edgar Posting
Written By Robin Wade

  Having my photo taken ​- one of my most uncomfortable hangups. 

The Museum of Alabama sent master photographer Mark Gooch around the state to take pics of 20 Alabamians for the final exhibit of phase two of their amazing project.  Not really sure how I ended up in the mix, but the rest of the project seems to be totally first class.  They've hired world class Museum designers and fabricators for the project.  One of which just completed Presidential Library project in Texas.​

Can you see that the photographer might just be "stumped" for the first time in his career?  - Can you see how much fun I'm having?  If I'm going to get over this one in my lifetime, I think I better get on with it.​

Robin Wade Furniture is a celebration of nature—a melding of a forward thinking commitment to the environment and a quiet, harmonious design aesthetic. From his "slow studio" in North Alabama, award-winning wood artist Robin Wade designs and crafts one-of-a-kind handmade furniture. Years before a piece is ready to enter a client's home or a gallery, the process begins—naturally—with the tree. Sustainably harvested, each specimen of hardwood is flitch sawn into natural-edge wood slabs, debarked by hand with a draw knife, and stacked to dry, usually for years, before the final cure in the kiln. From here, Wade and his team use both hand and power tools to bring Wade's vision to life, and then finish each piece with a hand-rubbed oil blend. Each organic furniture creation by Robin Wade Furniture balances the raw, natural beauty of environmentally, locally sourced hardwoods with minimally invasive, clean lines—a juxtaposition Wade calls both rustic and modern. “I haven’t yet found a better artist than nature,” he says.
