Yakima Weekend…

October 9, 2006 – 11:41 pm

Went to Yakima, Washington this past weekend for our annual October visit to Grandma’s, picked up lots of produce and tried out some new toys (thank you, UPS man!) Stopped at Jones Farm for some incredible pumpkins, butternut squash, gourds, Cinderella and albino pumpkins and to play in the maze, of course! Beautiful day in [...]

Last Camp of the Summer…

September 6, 2006 – 8:03 pm

The last camping trip of the summer is always bittersweet but was a great time with the family. We managed to get our favorite top-secret spot along the McKenzie River which afforded great river views of rafters and wildlife, such as this little visitor to our kitchen. I had to leave camp to shoot a [...]

Palm Trees in Portland…

June 3, 2006 – 7:59 am

Wow, what a night! Tonight kicked off the Rose Festival here in Portland with a fireworks display over the Willamette River, and the family all went down for some riverside viewing. Had a blast with G & B and got to make a few images. This one’s my favorite so far.

The Trojan Nuclear Power Plant’s cooling tower was imploded this morning at 7:00:12. I got up at 3:30 AM, made a Thermos of coffee, then met up with another photographer buddy of mine, Dave Lutz, for the drive up and a battle plan. We decided on an ultra-secret road/viewing area that only a couple of [...]

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 [...]

Blue Bridge…

March 27, 2006 – 8:39 pm

Once the scene of Oregon’s record high-speed car chase at just over an incredible 150 MPH, the Astoria Bridge to Washington is long, straight and impossibly narrow. I have no height or bridge phobia but having to cross this one always makes me sit up and pay extra close attention. Returning home from a shoot [...]

Quiet Giants…

March 16, 2006 – 9:33 am

Driving home from a shoot in Molalla, OR, saw these old switchers, and pulled in the rail yard. Got out some gear and walked over. It was very quiet. I was thinking just the opposite.
