Evergreen trees covered in ice after a freezing rain  Freezing rain is a very uncommon phenomenon. Eugene was hit by a freezing rain storm tearing aid December you years ago. Many trees were broken in the storm. Trees were down all over town. This photograph we drove to a forest at the hillside and looked across a valley. They look to me is very surreal as the trees and the rain fell and froze …

Finding creativity 1

The colors and the shapes add to a certain mood that I really like. I will be starting an on going project here on my blog, I thing a little more structured. I will be going back through some of my older photos, many of them are photos …
Tide pool at sunset along the lost coast
This image was photographed in a tidal pool during sunset in northern California’s Lost Coast. This image was a challenge to create, but the incredible light made it easier than usual. For this image I rolled up the legs of m pants and stood in the center of this tidal pool. I set up my tripod as low to the waters surface as I could. To get the soft still look of the water in …
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 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.

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 …
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 …

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.
Home for the Weekend
Horseshoes I am back home for the weekend, I came back into town to visit some friends and to get some work done on my internship project. I took some time this afternoon walking through my grandparents grape arbor and garden. Ive been there hundreds of times before, I have become so familiar with that place; I could walk through it with my eyes closed. Even the horseshoes hanging on the old post in the …

For the most part I am just focusing on relaxing and camping, and also knowing that there are a thousand bad photos I really dont have to take 🙂 This trip will be very Photography heavy. Ill get into this subject more later on, …
Girl at the Gum Wall
This is an image that I am pretty happy with. I really do not have much experience with street photography, so I was happy when my film came back with a clear, focused and well exposed image here. The girl was running to meet with the rest of her family down the hill. I like the subject. I like the background, and I like how the rest of the elements in the image work together. …
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 …
