Seattle 2012 -> Snowstorm Photos

I haven’t had a lot of free time to post this week. I’ve been shoveling snow and taking photos of all the wild weather that we’ve been experiencing here in the Pacific NW. I’ve got a bunch of photos that I will be processing and posting over the next few days, and another good night [...]

Dave Ewald -> Life Photography on Flickr

Former Saint Paul, MN, current Portland, OR designer Dave Ewald has been adding to his Flickr stream lately with what he modestly describes as ‘proof of life’ photography. Some of my favorite shots from his collection (shown above) were taken in 2009 at the ‘Pendleton Round-Up’, one of the ten largest rodeos in the world that [...]

Life Photography -> Jeffrey David Luker

Photos like the above can only be captured by someone who passionately lives behind the camera, always taking it with them, every day, every night… and of course, it doesn’t hurt to be packing an abundance of talent along as well. Portland, Oregon based photographer Jeffrey David Luker has an outstanding collection of life photos [...]

Photography Update -> Shooting the Canon EOS 7D

I’m happy to report that I received my long awaited Canon EOS 7D in the mail from B&H Camera last Thursday and I’ve been tinkering with it ever since, despite a head cold and some pretty drippy and unusually cold weather (for August). Right out of the box I knew I had made the right [...]

The Qualities of Light -> L.A. Artist 'Visual Displays'

I think what I like best about the videography work coming from L.A. based ‘The Qualities of Light’ is the diversity and freshness of their content. The following excerpt from their website manifesto say’s it all, “visual displays to highlight the lives of inspiring people or organizations within the Los Angeles area”. There are only [...]

MARWENCOL -> Mark Hogancamp Story

This past Monday night I was invited by a friend to view a documentary directed by Jeff Malmberg called “MARWENCOL”, the story of photographer and artist Mark Hogancamp (creator of the incredible photos above). Without giving away too much of the plot, it’s about a man from Upstate New York who was brutally attacked and [...]

Corey Arnold -> Photography

This past week a friend of mine turned me on to the work of Portland based photographer and Alaskan commercial fisherman and skateboarder Corey Arnold. With so many of us out there ‘life documenting’ and ‘life tracking’ these days it’s really refreshing to come across someone who not only has a great talent and passion [...]

'So Far Seattle' -> Photo Book Concept

It’s been almost 6 months since I moved to Seattle, I’ve taken a lot of pictures of this amazing city so far. Two weeks ago I realized that I had almost 100 Seattle photos up on Flickr already, so I decided to test print an 84 page photo book to see how it would come [...]

Seattle Photo Update -> James Schneider Jr

It’s been almost 3 months now since the big move to Seattle. My wife and I have done our best to get outside, explore the city while at the same time try to acclimate, find everything that was “professionally” but randomly packed + stay on top of our day jobs. We’ve been really lucky to have [...]

My Daily Commute -> Flickr Set

I’m a big advocate of public transportation, and have been commuting to work by either a bus, ferry or train for the past 8+ years. I wish that I would have been more into photography a few years back when I was taking the NY Waterway Ferry from Hoboken to NYC across the Hudson river [...]

All Babes are Wolves -> Kris Knight

I really like these mysterious portraits by Canadian born artist Kris Knight. Their muted color palette combined with the deadpan gaze of each subject draws me in and prompts me to analyze the emotion that has been captured by each skillful brush stroke. He has more works to share on his portfolio site.

The Big Move -> Seattle

As I type up this post at 8:30 pm Seattle time, my eye-lids bear down like bags of cement and my train of thought is noticeably difficult to corral because of last night’s travels + the time difference. I’ve spent the last 48 hours relocating with my wife (who took the above pic), cat and [...]

Our Modern Lifestyle Is Killing Us -> Richard Dawkins & Randolph Nesse

As I sit here watching this interview with Randolph Nesse on YouTube “The Genius of Charles Darwin” I start to understand why my eye’s are so horrible and why my back causes me so much surprise trouble. Don’t get me wrong, I’m pretty healthy at my age. My Dr. say’s I’m the perfect weight, I [...]

Some things are just worth watching for the sake of pure enjoyment. This video by Wes Johnson was published about a month ago on Vimeo along with this simple statement:

“lucky to have my camera with as i passed by this tonight.”
