Down Town Walk Around
My flight back to Portland wasn’t till 6pm out of LAX so I took the opportunity to walk around down town LA (near the Rose Bowl Media Hotel) for a couple hours and make some pictures. The sun was high and it was hot, well hot for January. I was surprised at the lack of [...]
Mission St. San Fran @ 6×6
I took my Hasselblad out on Mission Street in San Fran a couple weeks back on a brilliantly sunny afternoon and found a couple pictures.

To Utah and Back again
I drove down to Utah last week and took a few pix along the way with my Hasselblad. A continuation of my journey photographing small American towns. //
Portland Mugs
I took my Hasselblad and a roll of white paper down town a few weeks ago and asked people at random if I could take their Portrait. To my surprise about 80 percent of the people I approached said yes. I took one stap of each individual, with a 50mm lens, in open shade, using Fuji [...]
Klickitat
This little town in southern Washington has klick in the name, so I figured why not take some photos of this charming little small town. It was a real nice change of pace, an exercise in slowing down. The town of 200 or so people is full of character and I plan to return when [...]
Hasselblad 500C – my first roll
I picked up a new (used) Hasselblad 500c last week and shot my first test roll to get an idea for how the camera behaves. I didn’t have a light meter handy, and this camera doesn’t have one built in, so I was really shooting from the hip in terms of exposure, but the images [...]
Bringing power to the masses
I worked on a freelance job a few weeks back out in the Dallas for Bonaville Power and shot a crew crawling around high in the air as they attach the second stage of power line tower that spans the columbia river. I shot this from up on a hill with my 400/2.8 and 1.4x [...]
Manzanita
I took a trip down to Manzanita this past weekend to get some much needed R&R, and this is what my Olympus OM2n (35mm film camera) and I found on a sunny, then rainy, then sunny Saturday at the coast.
Shooting from the hip, Mamiya on the street
A few shots from my daily life, as I work out the kinks shooting with me new Mamiya 7ii. * and another photo of a girl in a blue hoodie, what are the odds? *
Exit 645 – Enter 7-ii
I took my old Mamiya 645 Pro TL, film backs, and lenses down to Pro Photo Supply and did a trade for a new (used) Mamiya 7-ii and a 65mm f4 lens. If you’re not familiar it’s a 6x7cm 120 film rangefinder camera that shoots a negative almost 1.5 times larger than my M645. This means I [...]
Urban Sprawl – Seattle
I did some walking around with my Mamiya 645 in Seattle last week and found some interesting people and places.
iPhone Dump – Seattle, cameras, stuff, and me
I finally got around to downloading my iPhone photos today and thought I should share. Some are taken with my Hipstamatic Ap, so that will account for the unusual treatment. This collection includes my recent trip to Seattle, NYC, people, my gear, and a bunch of self portraits. “It’s not the camera, it’s the mind behind it.” [...]
Finding my roots
I got up this morning and took a drive down to my old stomping grounds in Gladstone. It was early and I was hungry so I popped into Heavenly Doughnuts for a cup of watered down jo and a couple frosted cake treats. Not exactly the breakfast of champions, but it did give me time to pause [...]
Scottsdale Walkabout
I took a walk around the hotel yesterday to get my mo-jo back after a long couple of days covering BCS press conferences.
Olympus Trip 35
I picked up a used Olympus Trip 35 camera last week and shot a roll of B&W, and a roll of Color 35mm film through it. I’m really happy with the auto-light meter of this camera, and the lens is super sharp. It will now be my go to pocket film camera, as it is [...]
Muse
Photos that are completely unrelated to my daily work are visualized with much less precognition.
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 [...]
