Portland Winter Dump '08

Eight inches of snow has fallen in the last two days - unbelievable! Before I moved to PDX, I asked some friends who've lived here for 8+ years if it ever snows. "Maybe once a year, like half an inch, but it won't stick" they said. I guess they didn't see this coming...

Mt. Hood

I took a much-needed drive up into the mountains on Monday. It was perfect: cold mountain air, fresh falling snow, a nice hike through some big forest ... perfect.

Eagles Load In

Oh yeah... I have a blog! I almost forgot I had this thing!

We had some Clair (sound company) interns helping us out in Philly, so I decided to take the morning off and got my camera out to document the load in. I really enjoyed myself and I like the results - rather proud of this set.

Fall in Portland

I took a walk around my neighborhood the other day and tried to capture the fall colors. It was another beautiful blue-skied day here in the great Northwest! I wish fall lasted for months and months, but then maybe part of the beauty is its elusive nature and the way it slips away.

Lakside

I got to hang out with an amazing group of people last weekend at the Cardas Lake House. Thanks again Angela!

Michael

Traci and I shot her friends' son's portraits a few days ago. One of the cutest little guys I've ever met!

Chicago Sunrise

After Traci left for the airport this morning, I walked over to the beach to catch the sunrise. It was an amazing morning - calm, perfect temperature, very peaceful, and the light was perfect for photographing.
