Its rare that our entire family gets a chance to be in the same spot all at once.  Its strange because when I was growing up it was completly common place for everyone to get together on a weekly basis.  Even though that was the case it was still rare for us to get a family portraits. In fact there is only a handful of photos like that around. Glade we finally got the oppurtunity.

Check out the video of our backpacking tirp to Waldo lake.

Heading out backpacking with some of the guys for an overnight trip, We will be leaving tomorrow at about nine and driving east on highway 58 to waldo lake. Tonight I have been putting together some of my gear. It will be pretty cool to head out and rough it for the day at least.  Suprisingly that short amount of time requires allot of gear just on its own.  I was looking up some info …

The other morning after Jeremy and I got back from the surprise Dave Chappelle event in Portland, I left before sunrise and drove out to a wildlife refuge that’s south of town.  I was dead tired since I had been up all night but the morning was great for shooting. It’s interesting to see how different the sunrise is from the sunset. I had my Nikon D40 and my D1 with me. I was trying …

“The Greatest Show that Never happened” – Dave chappelle Tuesday night at around 11:35 , Jeremy ran out of his room and exclaimed that Dave Chappelle would be doing a free event at pioneer square in portland and that we needed to drive to portland  right at that moment to see it. I at first did not beleive it at all, as you can imagine there are very few things that sound more like a …

Yesterday I went to the Tears for Fears concert up in portland, I had a ton of fun. The concert was at the zoo strangley enough, right in between the polar bears and the elephants. My friend Justin Ross invited me to go with him to the concert. The show overall was great, the guys in the band are still very solid. Especially Roland Orzabal (the goofier looking one in the image) really showed his …

I took this photo just the other day with my Nikon D1. This was just one of the flowers growing in our garden. I was impressed with the quality of the image. There are many things that I could have done better as the photographer, But the captured image itself is at a much higher quality then I thought it would be. Right now I have it blown up as my desktop image and I …

went down to the Illinois river to store gultch this last sunday. Had a good day with the guys Kyle brought his video camera and taped me jumping off the rock a couple times. The onlly bummer was that right as I got there I dropped my little point and shoot camera in the water so it was toast for the rest of the day. Luckly for me once it dried out it worked fine.

This evening in Grants Pass there was a structure fire that started at about 7:45 pm across the street from the redwood nursery. Fortunatly the building had been vacant for some time.  I was down town, headed toward riverside park to meet some friends when I saw the Smoke coming from around the fairgrounds. One of the first fire trucks pulled out a block in front of me, I decided to follow the fire truck …

Im always a little bit to harsh on movies. Transformers 2 was pretty good. I dont think that its as good as the first one. but its still a pretty fun story. a little outlandish, but hey there are robot cars running around so ill let it slide. I feel like they would have been better off cutting out some of the “jokes” as they were not that funny and felt cheesy. ( for example …
