Butterfly Interior
Today I went back to SSA’s “Butterfly House” in Boulder to photograph the interior of the house. I originally captured the interior when the house was new, before the owners moved in, but now had the chance to capture it with furniture. To view the older photos I took of this house go here: Interiors 1, Interiors 2, Exterior More information on the …
