Oregon Coast

Traci and I brought my parents out to the Oregon coast on Wednesday and had a blast. We were all expecting the worst; typical coastal weather of wind, rain and just plain dismal gloom. But we were surprised by just the opposite - it was beautiful! So fun to show my parents the coast on such a great day.

My friends at Rocky Mountain School of Photography - I'll miss you guys!

Finishing School, New Web Page, New Career!

I'm finishing up at the Rocky Mountain School of Photography here in beautiful Missoula, Montana. It's been a crazy, hectic, energizing and exhausting 5 weeks, with one left to go. Next week we have our final porftolio reviews. Mine is "Faces of the Homeless," a group of photographs I took over a year ago. I can't wait to get critiqued on this particular collection. I want to know what the pros think of it.



I've been tooling around with new websites lately, as I'm no longer happy with my current website. I tried out Livebooks (as a class assignment), but its customization is weak and I don't like its limitations, so I finally took my friend Scott Corron's advice and signed up for Photoshelter. Have a look and let me know what you think!

Multnomah Falls

Traci surprised me with a "date day" on Saturday. We started out with a visit to the Portland Art Museum to see "Wild Beauty," a photographic collection of the Columbia River Gorge, with pictures dating from 1867-1957. After getting inspired and motivated by a huge collection of amazing photographs, we headed out to Multnomah Falls, and then on to Hood River. It was an amazing day, spent with my favorite person! Thanks, Tra!
