Lawrence Halprin Landscapes | Birds and blooms
A few photos from today’s trip out to shoot a few Lawrence Halprin Park inspired photographs. Most of the trees are still barren, but a few on the south end of the park sequence where in full pink bloom, so I took full advantage. The smell was absolutely devastating. I photographed a few children jumping [...]
Halprin Landscapes – Medium Format
I shot a few Halprin landscape photos with my wide angle medium format camera to try and obtain a look more natural than the digital 5DMii images. My Mamiya doesn’t have a light meter, so all of the subsequent photos where taken with the use of a hand-held light meter. I’ll be excited to see [...]
St. Johns after dark
I’ve been spending a lot of time working on a project with my new medium format Mamiya 645 film camera and thought I should take out the 5DMark II. I’ve had my eye on a few spots near St. Johns. Now the light today was nice, don’t get me wrong, but there’s something special about [...]

The Fishermen of Newport Bay Oregon
I had planned on going to Crater Lake Saturday to do some shooting, it was rumored that there was going to be some snow and I thought that would be a unique time to shoot the famed Oregon landmark. But unfortunately it did snow, and it snowed a lot. So much so that they closed [...]
Halprin Panoramics, and a bowl of noodles.
I’ll start off today with an interesting photo of a man, eating a bowl of noodles alone in a chinese restaurant. I was walking from my car over to Harrison Street and found myself drawn toward this scene. I’m often captivated by events that invoke a sense of quiet isolation among a busy city environment. [...]
Halprin Cont.
The Halprin landscape photos continued today with a few drops of rain and lots of scattered leaves. I learned the other day, the most abundant plant on Earth is grass. There are millions of varieties and they cover the globe from pole to pole. So, I took a crack at photographing the grasses that speckle [...]

I headed out tonight to shoot a few more abstract Portland urban landscapes for the Harrison project, and came back with this.
More from Harrison
I ventured out to the grounds surrounding the Harrison building again today for 90 min, the length of time my parking spot allowed. The clouds where rolling in and the mood was stark, so was the light. I took another crack at the rolling hills of the park area, but I’m not sure I’ve achieved [...]

I was working as 1st assistant camera (AC), 2nd camera operator, and digital media tech on Nature, a really great suspenseful thriller with lots of sexual tension. The [...]

We got our hands on the new 5D MarkII and did some shooting at Indian Beach in Oregon Tuesday before taking it down to LA to shoot a wedding and do a profile piece. I wanted to get some hands-on experience with it before taking it on assignment. Well, it performed wonderfully. Easy to use, [...]
