Sunriver 2013
Today I wanted to make a quick post with some of the photos from this past weekend in Sunriver. Our group has organized a trip to Sunriver for 4 years. Good group of people to spend a weekend with.
Smith Rock iPhone Wallpaper
New set of smart phone wallpapers optimized for iPhone 4 and iPhone 5. This image was taken at Smith Rock State Park this last June, the original image was created in landscape format. I think this vertical crop still has that strange otherworldly look to it. Try it out, click on the image to download the full size optimized wallpaper .
Working from the road
Marina took this image yesterday while we were editing photographs in my car. Part of what makes this kind of a trip possible is the combination of new technologies that are smaller cheaper and lighter then they have ever been. We are taking advantage of all of our tools to help us produce work from the road. I admire photographers of the past that would have had to travel with boxes of film stock, then …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
Western Overland Excursion eBook Release!
The day is here! Today Marina and I are releasing our first eBook. We called the e book Western Overland Excursion. It is a book that covers photographs from our travels through the western United States. We designed it to read kind of like a coffee table book. 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 …
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 …
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.

Crater Lake
Crater Lake after sunset I made this photograph after spending the day at crater lake. Most of the park is still closed due to snow. I spent the afternoon walking around the lodge, checking out what trails and roads I could, and sitting on the hood of my car looking at maps of Oregon, planning out places I should go. This image was made using to graduated filters, a tobacco orange filter and a …
On The Road Again
Taken from the drivers seat of my camry while trying to navigate a corner on HWY 66 I’m starting another job in a few weeks, something that’s back to what I really like. Working for my self, or at least thinking that I work for my self is much more rewarding. For the time though, I have about 3 weeks free, so I am going to try and take advantage of that time as much …
OSU Rugby Game
Went to my first Rugby game the other day. My friend Jeremy is on the rugby team. Here are some photos of him playing .
