After retiring from a long career in public relations, journalism and publishing, Patrick F. Cannon decided to build upon a long interest in architecture to write about Chicago area architects and architecture. Since the publication of his first book, Hometown Architect: The Complete Buildings of Frank Lloyd Wright in Oak Park and River Forest, in 2006, he has since published four more books in collaboration with one of Chicago's preeminent architectural photographer, James Caulfield. Their most recent book, The Space Within: Insider Great Chicago Buildings was awarded the Gold Medal in the Independent Publishers Book Awards. James Caulfield has been a professional photographer for more than 30 years. His interest in architectural subjects grew out of his efforts restoring a Fromann & Jebsen designed bank in Chicago, a mid-century modern home in Glencoe by the noted architects, Keck & Keck, and his repurposing of several industrial buildings in Chicago as studios. He met architectural writer Patrick F. Cannon in 2004, with whom he collaborated on five books. James is currently at work on a new book project with Pat Cannon, tentatively entitled ‘A Living History’ which will attempt to showcase the nearly 200 year history of Chicago’s residential architecture.
