Fantasy Art…

April 25, 2006 – 5:05 pm

Sculptor Rick Moore was coming over this morning to drop off a new piece for shooting but something came up. I pulled out some of his other work I had shot previously and made a few promo cards. His stuff is really out there and pretty incredible to view. Check out Rick’s work at www.rmooresculptures.com

Thanks for all the kind comments. This basket from Hawaii reminded me of some of your photo subjects! From a friend’s house, Easter Sunday.

Backlighting & Teles…

Love the effects of backlighting and telephoto lenses together! From a friend’s back porch, Easter Sunday.

A Bug’s Life…

April 18, 2006 – 12:17 am

From large groups down to one little insect, meeting photographic challenges drives me on. This Stagmomantis Carolina, more commonly know as a Praying Mantis was discovered on my brother’s porch one afternoon. I quickly set up my tripod & camera, outfitted with extension tubes and a close-up lens and proceeded to compose my photo. Ever [...]

Intimidation…

April 14, 2006 – 9:24 pm

Shot Jesuit High School Boys and Girls Track teams yesterday in Knight Gym. In the past, I used to be intimidated with having to photograph such large groups, but those days are long since over. It’s really pretty manageable if you think of it like putting a rather large puzzle together, there is a place [...]

Carla & Cliff…

April 12, 2006 – 7:45 am

Putting together some new marketing materials for my wedding photography as the romance season is starting to book, I ran across this cool image of a terrific couple, Carla & Cliff. Teresa Flynn Kohl and I shot their wedding at the Portland Forestry Center and this is the shot I remember most. A bubble in [...]

Come Monday…

April 11, 2006 – 3:02 pm

Here’s one from last summer as I’m getting acquainted with some new technology. It was shot on a little Canon A85 and is a classic example of being prepared and ready to go when life happens and is a good reason to always have a camera nearby. We had been listening to some Jimmy Buffett [...]

Parents and Parenting…

April 7, 2006 – 6:35 pm

As many people do, I never really gave parenting (or insert your current affliction here) much thought until I became one. The above two images are variations on a similar theme, both tight studio portraits of that special bond between parent & child. Creating intimate moments like these in the studio are often a challenge, [...]

Daycare Day on Broadway…

April 5, 2006 – 4:31 am

We see pictures like this one all the time in trade & industry magazines but I’ve recently learned what a logistical nightmare they can be to pull off. When I received the call in late December from my client, Martin Marietta, I had no idea how much time would be spent trying to get this [...]

Snow Fun…

April 2, 2006 – 10:21 pm

We’re on Spring Break around here, so we went over to Sunriver and Mt. Bachelor for a few days of fun in the snow and to recharge our psychic batteries. Ski lessons for Miss B were a bust but the tube runs were a huge hit! Cruised around Bend and Eagle Crest for a while [...]
