missing nags head

Before we moved to Portland, we stayed at the Sea Foam in Nags Head, NC. It’s ultimate beach dive motel. I highly recommend it for a true OBX experience.

This one’s for my peeps in Hotlanta!


kung fu love

For about a month after we moved into the studio, I thought that the sign on the building on the right read “Marital Discipline Training Center”. My dad was dyslexic and I think I get a little sometimes, too. Update: Photos return tomorrow. I was shooting all day on Monday and Tuesday and I’m just [...]


me and the moon

As requested by Henry, here’s my shot of the lunar eclipse on Wednesday. I was working late and I couldn’t open my window all the way to get a clear shot of it by itself. So, I improvised. It was a cool thing to watch.

crooked reflection

Thanks for the feedback from yesterday’s post. I’m still going back and forth on what to do. If I do move forward, I’ll definitely keep you all posted.


smith rock… final

So, about yesterday’s shot… it wasn’t HDR. It a was a B&W version of what you see here. My technique is all done in Adobe Camera Raw for Photoshop CS3. I can save the settings for each image into a single XMP file and then apply them to multiple files. I usually tweak here and [...]


smith rock… very big

I left this wide because there’s so much detail you miss out when it’s sized down. If ever print this, I’m going to make it door size.

Just on the other side of the big rock face from yesterday.


smith rock… valentine

XOXOXOXOXOXO


smith rock… damn

People back East always wondered why we moved out to Oregon. Here’s one fine example. This is Smith Rock State Park. A world famous rock climbing area and a jaw dropping site just 20 miles north of Bend on Highway 97. What’s really cool about this shot is that 24 hours earlier, we were snowboarding [...]


Stock Photo Widget

My stock agency, PhotoShelter, just came out with a new cool stock photo widget. It’s a rotating slideshow of all my images available for licensing. The cool thing about it, is you can embed it into your blog, social networking page, desktop, email, what have you. Neat, huh?

august by the window

Just got back from a trip to Central Oregon with Lauren. It was nice to take a couple days off. Things are about to get real busy around here. This was shot a few years ago on our move to Portland. We broke down in Muskogee, OK and we’re stuck in a hotel. That night, [...]


swim meet

Just updated my LIFE portfolio. Here’s a new shot from it.

Shot from the hip in Beaune, France.

back in time

So, I haven’t had time to shoot anything new. I’ve been a little busier than normal, so I’m kind of stuck in the studio until who knows when. Not that I’m complaining, mind you. But, I’ve been wanting to go through some old pre-blog favorites and reprocess them with my new techniques just to see [...]


swaying blade

I played hooky yesterday with Lauren and went snowboarding. We’ve got close to 200″ of snow on Mt. Hood. It was killer, brah! Anyway, sorry there was no photo yesterday. Got the rest of the week queued up for your viewing pleasure.

Muriel and her husband Arzel are good friends of ours. They are, how you say, French and a blast to hang out with. They’ve moved back to France since I took this shot. We can’t wait to go visit them. Ah France, I’m a fan.
