Latest Gigs
Rentrak Corporation – 2007 Portraits I owe a big thank you to Portland Monthly for this one. I shot Paul Rosenbaum, CEO for Rentrak, for the July issue of Portland Monthly (here’s an outtake from it). It really impressed the folks over at Rentrak and they hired me to photograph all their executives. Their biggest [...]
garden hose
This is crazy. No, not the garden hose, though it has some distraught elements to it. No, what’s crazy is that I just got another gig since the launch of the new website. I’m shooting a portrait for Seattle Magazine on Monday. It’ll be for their December issue, so you’ll have to wait for the [...]
my americana – new mexico
I felt like this would be a good Monday image. It’s going to be a charge this week. Two shoots, hundreds of stock photos to upload to PhotoShelter, big marketing push on the new website… busy busy busy…
my americana 2 – connecticut
I actually spelled Connecticut right on the first try. I was born there, so that gave me the edge. We lived there till 2nd Grade summer. Then we moved to New Mexico for 3 years. I moved a lot as kid. This building and intersection is in Meridan, CT. Here’s what I remember from that [...]
my americana 1 – new york
I’m really glad I had shot a bunch before I started this blog. The archives really come in handy during the busy times. So, the day after I launched my new site, I got a call to shoot for Domino Magazine! Guess that means I’m doing something right I’m really excited to shoot for them. [...]
my first shot
So this is one of first photos I ever shot on slide film. It was early morning in Nags Head, NC and I borrowed my boss’ Nikon F3. He forbade me from taking it on to the beach, so I had to find other things to shoot. We I was editing my film later, he [...]
Welcome to L|B 8.0
Welcome to the newest version of my website. Regular visitors will notice that this is my third redesign this year (which is really crazy) and my eighth redesign total. But the reasons for this latest rehash are simple: It was time to merge my photoblog, ides-of-may.com, into the main look and feel of my website. [...]
sodium halide
More shots from film. I may have said this before, but the one thing I miss about shooting slide film is the absoluteness of it. There was no RAW conversion, channel mixing, saturation adjustments, etc. What you shot is what you got. It did cool things and it did terrible things. Sometimes the terrible things [...]
play
I don’t know how these Oregonian kids play in the ocean here. They’re nuts.
city liquidators
The next three shots were all shot on film. My mom and dad came into town last October about this time and my dad and I shot some film together. He gave me my first camera, a Pentax Spotmatic and it still works today. He has one too, so it was fun to go old [...]
