Sunset Park – Brooklyn NYC
Anna I took a trip out to NYC and stayed with some friends for about a week recently and I did a little street shooting. I managed to pickup a nice waist-level viewfinder for my Mamiya, and a 55mm lens from the big B&H mega camera store and shot 10 rolls of Kodak 125 PX [...]
Dusting off the Holga
Anna and I took a trip to the beach with our friends Brent and Hallie, so I dusted off the old Holga, dropped in a roll of 120 color film, and crossed my fingers. You just never know what you’re going to get when you shoot with a Holga. And yea, that’s an iPod strapped [...]
Timothy lake in the Pre-Season
My buddy Rob and I took a backpacking trip up to Timothy Lake a few weeks ago before it officially opened for the season. We hit some snow on the road up, parked the car, and hiked in. Here’s a photo I took at the lake’s edge around 2am. The temp got down in the [...]
Looking through Olympus
I took my dad’s old Olympus OM2 out of the closet and shot a roll of Tri-X B&W film the other day… Here’s a selection from the roll of 36.
Ducati Track day at PIR
My brother came down to Portland with his Ducati 848, so I grabbed a 400mm f2.8 super telephoto lens and trekked out to the track to take in the action.
April 26th
There is something absolutely tragic, and devastatingly beautiful about this man and this woman.
Shrimp
I got a Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 “point-&-shoot” for my birthday this past Christmas and I finally got around to downloading some of the pictures off the card. It’s amazing how many 10mp RAW images fit on a 16gb SD card. I shot this last month at the ABC Seafood Market on Powell, the best and [...]
Faces and Places | More Portland Portraits
I got another roll of film back today with a few So-Fo-Po (South Foster Powell) images for my Faces and Places (PDX Portraits) on it.

Photos from Las Vegas, 120 Film (Wedding Portrait Photographers International)
Okay boys and girls, I got anther couple of rolls of 120 film back from the lab today. I shot two rolls of Kodak Portra Neutral Color 160, and a roll of Kodak T-Max 100 while I was in Vegas for the Wedding and Portrait Photographers International convention. I focused mainly on out of the [...]
Plywood
I traveled down to Lyons, Oregon with a small crew to work on a film project at a plywood mill with an amazing director/DP Lionel Coleman (www.lionelcoleman.com). I assisted camera and worked the lights for the day while Lionel shot video on the Canon 5DMii. It was a real experience shooting inside an operating saw [...]
More PDX Portraits, Mamiya 645
I shot a few more portraits of average ordinary Portlanders. I’m trying to get a mix of people that really shows the diversity within the city by getting close to people we might otherwise not notice. I am always so fascinated by the people I meet when I walk the streets of Portland, especially when [...]
Personal Space – Medium Format
After I got my hands on my new Mamiya 645 medium format film camera, I shot a roll of 120 film. I simply walked around this fair city of Portland, Oregon asking people “may I take your portrait?” Some people said yes, and some people said no. I wasn’t sure what to expect from people, [...]
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 [...]
Bagby Hotsprings
I took a hike up to Bagby Hot Springs for the first time in years with Anna and my friend Rob and his wife. I was so awestruck I didn’t do a lot of photography, but here are a few shots from the trip. I’m planning to go back up very soon to shoot some [...]
Snowshoeing the East Fork Trail
Anna and I got up extra early today and drove out to the East side of Mt. Hood to hike the East Fork River. We rented some awesome snowshoes from REI, packed a lunch, and off we went. Here are a few photo from the day’s excusion. And I encourage anyone who hasn’t ever done [...]
Lobster
They say lobster mate for life, a romantic idea really. Unfortunately for lobster, and their life mates, they’re super tasty. But before Anna steamed up a couple pounds of shellfish I took a minute to photograph them.
Eros Fest NW Fire Dancers | Video
I cut together a quick video from my coverage of the fire dancers at the 2009 Eros Fest NW.
Oaks Park, Skate
It was another rainy dreary gray Sunday in Portland today, so I took a trip down to Oaks Park to see what I could see. I’ve been thinking about producing a series on roller skating. It’s fascinating to me how popular this past-time is here in Portland, and I’m sure it has niche groups all [...]
Portland’s first snow, video
We got our first snow of the year, Dec. 29th, so I put together a short video on my Canon 5DMii. Scroll down to see some photos from the day as well.
On thin ice…
Well not that thin, it was thick enough to skate on. I took a drive out the Kruger’s Farm on Sauvie Island today with Anna to shoot some B-roll video for a documentary film project we’re working on. We drove out to the far side of the farm to shoot a time lapse and bumped [...]
Rice Hill
I took a drive down to southern Oregon Thursday, and decided to detour through a few small towns and take a look around. I made a couple new friends at the Shell station as I filled up my tank, and bought a bag of M&M’s. Then as I drove the back roads something caught my [...]
Swifts and Empty Spaces (video)
I compiled some video I had of the swifts roosting in the Chapman School chimney that I had with some footage of empty spaces into a short MOS video set to music. I found a great public domain song titled Nightbird by Rusticalia that I think really sets the mood. This is a combination of [...]
Polaroid Test
Just for laughs, and a change of pace, I took out one of Anna’s Polaroid Land Cameras and took a few pictures. The film was old, really old, to old in fact. Turns out the film was expired and the photos came out with some interesting expired film looks. It was a fun little experiment [...]
