Nikon D2H 50mm- 3.0’’ – F/1.8 – ISO 200 This is a photo that I just finished working on. I took this yesterday evening during the blue hour in Bandon Oregon. This photo is a little noisier then I would like it to be, but that is the price I pay for shooting with a DSLR that is 10 years old. In this photograph I really like the wash of the waves as they moved …
Impressions from the Oregon Coast
This past weekend Marina and I spent a night camping on the Oregon Coast south of Newport. We had a great time enjoying the September weather on the coast. Saturday evening I worked on a few impressions of the sunset. I ended up liking this photo the most out of the series I shot. I have been working on images that take advantage of the light just before and just after sunset. I really like the …
This is another image that I shot at Pikes Place. This fella was working at one of the fish markets adding ice to the fresh fish. I saw him go to the back, get a shovel load of ice and return to the front to toss it on to the days catch. I set up this shot, tried to set my exposure and focus before he was in position, he walked out and shoveled the ice onto …
This image is part of my on going film project, you can see my growing collection of film photographs at http://7-24photo.tumblr.com/ This was taken at Pikes place in Seattle. I worked with my Nikon FG 20 film camera a lot during my time in Seattle. Really interesting place to work on photos. Lots of contrast, lots of characters.

Backpacking in the Wallowa Mountains.
Our tent near dusk at horseshoe lake in the Wallowa Mountains. Backpacking in the Wallowa Mountains is always an adventure. I am very glad that I was able to return to the mountains this year. It is a great adventure, and also an incredible struggle. The remote scenic beauty however makes the entire struggle worth it. It would be easy to say that Marina and I over packed for this excursion. We carried to backpacking backpacks full …
Camping at the Gorge for the Dave Matthews Band
As it normally goes for me, I am a little bit busier than I had expected, but in fairness this is the busy hectic part of the trip. I am now just wrapping up the first section of the trip. Today I am back in Portland Oregon, currently working out of a Peets coffee while we take turns feeding the parking meter outside (which reminds me of how much I can not wait for the actual wilderness …
Postcard from The Gorge
Right now I am currently working out of a Starbucks in Seattle near pikes place.We have been gone now for almost a week. I think I have put about 600 new miles on my vary old car and had [part of 😉 ] the best trip ever. Dave Matthews was a great experience. Ready to call myself a ‘DAVER’ like the temporary locals say. This is my first time camping at the gorge, it still has …
A Few Travel Notes
A few travel notes At this time I am probably off somewhere near the Gorge, ready to watch the Dave Matthews band perform. While I write this however, it is Friday afternoon and I am still spending some time in Hood River, working on a few projects and catching up on some road work. This weekend really starts the trip for me. Friday evening we are meeting up with a few friends and traveling to …
350,000 miles
I am currently in Hood River Oregon, working out of a cool coffee shop that I first visited this time last year. This marks the second day of our trip traveling through the west coast of the US. This post is a shout out to my car. Yesterday, while driving into Hood River, my Camry passed 350,000 miles. The car is a trooper, and I know I should treat a 20 year old sedan better …

Glow Wire Leisure Suit
I took this photo at the State of Jefferson HempExpo. A couple guys designed some Glow Wire leisure Suites. I had already lost a lot of light so I had the 2 guys stay really still for 5 seconds. The long exposure helps pull up the ‘glow’ of the lights on their jackets.
The Oregon Territory
West Coast Trip On Wednesday August 29th 2012 I am planning on packing up my Camry once more and heading out on a trip spanning the west coast. I have already started the process of gearing up and packing. I am really excited to get back out on the road to travel camp and create some media. This trip will span the west coast of the US. First I am driving north, moving slowly …

Pool and a pole – HD underwater action cam test shots
I put this quick video together testing out my hd action cam this evening. I mounted the camera to the end of a long metal pool and made a few test shots
Perseid Meteor Shower
Enjoying the Northern sky watching for shooting stars Sunday night: ISO 200- 24mm- f 3.5 -5 minute exposure The city lights and haze from town sometimes get in the way of a dark summer sky so I drove out of Grants Pass toward the Applegate valley. I ended up in Provolt near some open field; I set up my chair, faced northeast and spent the night watching the shooting stars as constellations came up over the horizon. I …
Back to the Fifties Photos
This last weekend was the back to the fifties celebration in Grants Pass. One of the main events is a classic car cruise that runs through Downtown. I got down to the cruise after work and after the sun went down. I thought this would be a good opportunity to work on a technique called panning. For this picture I dropped the Sutter speed of the camera down to about 1/4 of a second and …
Abstract lights
I found this image in my iPod touch’s camera roll. I processed the image through instagram and uploaded it. I thought the image was interesting, it was a mistake . a result of bad automatic settings and poor light. This is also a test to experiment with using just an ipod touch to work on publishing blogs and work from the road. I am trying to figure out road production solutions before I end up …
Recap of the Oregon Country Fair
The Country fair was a really cool place to visit. This was my first experience with the fair but this place has to be one of the more unique events that I have gone to. I was only able to attend the fair for 1 day, but I hope in next several years I will be able to stay for a few days. This place is a really exciting and diverse location to photograph …

The e book has more than 60 pages of photographs, collages, and stories. Western Overland Excursion is priced at only $2.00 and is available to purchase from …
kaleidoscope
Photo Credit – Marina Hansen. This image was taken at the Oregon Country Fair in a 6 foot open ended kaleidoscope. On one end, there is myself with my film camera, and on the other end, Marina. I am still waiting to get the counterpart to this image developed. You know… the film photo of Marina that I took at the same time. When I do, I will post it. I will save the country …
7/24 photography project- a return to film
This is the start of my film photography project. I have been really interested in creating photographs for over 5 years now. I love photography, I love creating images and sharing them but I am a photographer that came about in the digital age. That is in part why I wanted to start this project. Granted, my first camera was a 35 mm film camera, and with that the first year or so of my …

Applegate lake River Reflections
Evening reflections in the applegate river This photo is a little bit outside of my normal style. I photographed this in the reflections of the applegate river. The intense green color in the water comes from the reflection of the bright sun lit green trees. The image had a cool strange sureal look to it.
Postcard from Cougar Reservoir
This photo was taken by a small creek near our camp at cougar reservoir, east of Eugene. Spent a few good hours relaxing in the Hot springs, then spent most of our time avoiding lots and lots of rain.
Postcard from Crater Lake
Taken with my (not)GOpro, from the top of Crater Lake. Im working on a series of panoramas from my time at crater lake right now. They look good in camera. We will see if I can make something of it. Spent the last 2 days at the Toketee Hot springs, taking pictures of water falls. Today and tomorrow I am back up in Corvallis for the Flat Tail festival, then hitting the road …

Windmill
NIKON D2H 50mm, F/9, 1/800, ISO 200 September seems like it was so long ago now. I photographed this windmill in Eastern Oregon just south of Pendelton. There are miles and miles of rolling hills and grasslands.
