IZA WOJCIECHOWSKA / W R I TE R Wojciechowska grew up in West Texas and now lives in Durham, where she works as a writer and copy editor. When she’s not working, she goes hiking with her hound, cooks, and translates Polish poetry. After touring the Guest House for this profile and seeing how much thought and passion went into it, she’s now in love with skylights and is seriously considering a staycation in Raleigh.
JUSTIN KASE CONDER / P HOTO GR A PH ER A California native, before settling in Raleigh two years ago Conder’s work had taken him to every state in the U.S. and to 43 countries around the world. A commercial and editorial photographer says his love of people fuels his passion, his assignment to photograph Guest House Raleigh proved to be a wonderful opportunity. “It’s 5 a.m. and I’m ringing the doorbell before sunrise for the first day of our shoot, and I know they’re just thinking ‘What on earth have we gotten ourselves into?’ but after two weekend shoots together and a third weekday, I’d say we’re friends.”
