Camp Phoenix
CLICK FOR CAMP PHOENIX GALLERY
Camp Phoenix is a summer getaway event for burned children. They come from all over the nation, a few outside the nation, to enjoy a week with fellow burn victims. It’s a place where they don’t have to feel alone, singled-out, and can embrace in the similarities they have with other [...]
Two Nights With Stephen
A photographer can be asked to capture a vast array of people, places, and things. Usually, they all fall into the normal realm. You can throw normal out the window when a comedian books you for a couple hours. Enter Stephen, a comedian regularly found generating laughs in the Bellingham area. I actually first saw [...]
Mobile Device Slideshow
Before today, any user surfin’ my portfolio page on a mobile device incapable of playing flash saw a large blank screen. To be more specific, nothing. My portfolio slideshow is powered by flash, but as of today, I have good news for all those using iPhones, iPads, etc. I’ve altered the site to redirect mobile [...]
Alice in Wonderland Graffiti Wall
Just for fun post… had to post some pics up of this graffiti wall in Tacoma. Some of the local talent dedicated an entire wall to Alice in Wonderland. This thing is huge, and very well done. It’s about 20 feet high, and I don’t know how wide. The photo below is a compilation of [...]
The Williams Family
Meet the Williams family. I had the pleasure of shooting the group a week or so ago in their local neighborhood park in Federal Way. They were fun to shoot, very easy-going family. The park was quite pleasant, it gave us lots of options for some nice compositions. I will also run with places that [...]
Matty in B-ham Sept 11/12
I’ll be up in Bellingham September 11/12 for shoots. Great time for seniors or anyone else wanting a nice location shoot before the weather starts to get… less comfortable. One hour shoots will be going for $250, after all post work is said and done. You get all the pics on a disc to print [...]
When Light Stands Are Not An Option
Very, very rarely do I come across a location shoot where the ever adaptable light stand just can’t cut the mustard when I need to hang a light. The only time I find myself unable to use a light stand is when I simply don’t have enough room to squeeze a light stand into a [...]
A Great Week of Variety
It was a busy week/weekend that started in Tacoma and ended up in Bellingham. Family portraits, marketing photography for both the Emergency Food Network as well as a budding comedian, volunteer work for the Burned Children Recovery Foundation, and a couple completed shoots for the Active Series. Phew, the cameras were busy, got some amazing [...]
Venus Flytrap Fun
So throughout my life, I’ve occasionally owned venus flytraps. I’m not what you’d call a “plant guy” by any means, in fact, the only plants I’ve ever purchased for myself are flytraps. I’m sure most of you all know that these are not your normal, give water, give sunlight kinda plant. Of course the flytrap [...]
Morning Web
Walking out the door the other morning, I spotted this dewy spider web. The wet morning air had formed super small beads of waters along the entire web, as well as a couple larger drops. A full screen view reveals the detail and reflection in even the smallest beads of water, hence the reason I’ll [...]
