1958 | Photo of the Month

Travel Time

This week's weather forcast is rain and lots of it. So instead of waiting around for the sun I'm working on my travel plans this spring to some great locals! May is going to be busy and I'll be living out of my suitcase :D Contact me ASAP if you're wanting a session in any of the following locations and I we can book a date!

Utah - 1st week of May
I'll be revisiting Moab in Utah with stops in Zion's National Park, and Provo/SLC for portraits. Blake, you know we'll be hanging.

California - 2nd week of May
Malibu. Long Beach. Here I come! I can't wait to see Alex and Tyler. Hopefully I can meet up with some of the photogs that inspire me.

3rd week of May
and the grand daddy of trips....JAPAN! Wow I can't explain how excited I am to visit my sister Rachelle and Joe! Okinawa for 3 weeks with a day or two in mainland Japan; Tokyo of course. I'm offering special "exchange rates" on my photography packages while overseas. More details later.

And because I need a picture with my post!...
Here's what the gloom looks like. Straight. Out. Of. The. Camera.

Photo of the Month - Aquarium

This photograph has been intriguing to me from the moment I took it. Of course you can notice the back-lighting but what really gives it flare is the large natural reflector, not seen in the picture of course. It's literally just a snap shot with beautiful lighting. Can't complain!

On Valentine's I shot an amazing family portrait session. Check back soon to see some lovely photographs!

Photo of the Month

Every photo has a story. This one is no different. For the photo of the month I enjoy picking photographs that have an interesting story to tell and not just a properly composed or executed image.

ISO 100, 8 seconds, f/9

I have been searching for this park for quite a while and finally located it on this beautiful night. This photo of the Seattle skyline is taken from Queen Ann Hill, with a predominate emphasis on the Space Needle. But I wanted to make sure I included the Seattle Center as well as the Key Arena. Obviously with a long exposure like this you might assume I was using a Gitzo tripod. But in all actuality I found a 22oz plastic Coke lid to prop up the front of my 24-70 L just enough to give some cushion above the space needle. It was a very overcast night! And it turned out to give a perfect red haze to the sky! I loved this night. And I couldn't have done it with out Sawyer, you were a huge help! (thanks for grabbing my battery grip!!)

To night's with amazing people and plastic coke lids!....

Photo of the Month

Something I've wanted to post for a long time is a photo of the month. For the first one I'm going to go back to August for a photograph that now graces the background of my iPhone :)

Yummm! You can never go wrong with sushi
