Mmmm… doughnut
Funny story about this doughnut: I was on assignment for American Airlines in flight magazine, American Way, and part of the assignment was to shoot Voodoo Doughnuts. I was trying to shoot an interior of the downtown location, but it happened to be during Spring Break. The place was totally mobbed and had to wait [...]
I Shot That: Video Edition
Took my first crack at shooting video this past week. I’ve been toying around with the 5D Mark II’s video mode since I got the camera last year. It was neat, but I really didn’t have much interest in it
Tasty Good Times at Besaw’s
I’m starting to believe that fate exists. About five and half years ago, my wife and I were visiting Portland to decide if we wanted to move here from Virginia. Both of us love eating out and breakfast is one of my favorite meals. If we were going to relocate to Portland, it better have [...]
How’d You Do That? Travel Portland Edition
If you happen into any local hospitality destination, you might see the above shot I took for Travel Portland. Art Directed by the incredibly talented Thomas Cobb, this slick city tour guide magazine really stands out. I know we keep them in our house for years to show out of town guests what all the [...]
Parliament World Headquaters – Interiors Magazine
This is great example of when photos going viral is a good thing. For about a month, it seemed everyone in the world was stoked on Parliament’s office space. I lost track of the number of blogs it went up on, but some of the big ones were Design*Sponge, Graphic-ExchanGE, and Contemporist. This led to [...]
Branch Science – Portland Monthly January 2010
I really liked how this feature shoot came out in the January 2010 issue of Portland Monthly. Art directed by Michael Novak, the two of us first drove down to Corvallis, OR to photograph OSU scientist Steve Strauss in his grove of genetically modified trees. The trees in the above shot have been engineered so [...]
Friday Photo Links
It’s been a busy week here at Lincoln Barbour Photo. A great shoot yesterday, two shoots next week to get ready for, estimates and portfolios going out the door, my bookkeeping is way behind, I even have some web projects needed to get done yesterday. Not complaining, mind you, it’s a very nice change from [...]
Cupcake Jones – Portland, OR
It was really great to have my brother and his wife visit us last week. We did a Portland style “staycation” with them and visited all our favorite spots around town including Cupcake Jones. Absolutely beautiful and delicious cupcakes that also make for especially pleasing photo subjects. Now it’s time to get back to work. [...]
Fuzzy Dice – T or C, NM
My brother and his wife are visiting us this week in Portland, so I won’t be working or blogging much photo business posts. I do have a little time to put some Ides of May work. This was shot actually the last time I saw my brother and his wife. All of us went to [...]
My Latest Printed Portfolio
The good folks at Wonderful Machine just put a video of my portfolio on YouTube. Here it is for you viewing pleasure: This portfolio was a general overview of all my work. I’m working on building books for each specialty.
Pardon The Dust
If you’re seeing this post on www.lincolnbarbour.com, then you might notice things look differently around here. If you’re reading this through an RSS reader, you should check out the new look and feel of my website. I’m so stoked about it. It’s still a work in progress, but the features you’ll see right away are: [...]

Our mission is to be a creative force for hire as well as a creative force for doing good with our photography. The current roster of photographers includes Daniel Root, Brian Lee, Steven Scardina, Stuart Mullenberg, and myself; [...]
From Bacon to Beavers – 2009 in Review
This last year I spent a lot of energy narrowing down my specialties: architecture, lifestyle, and still life. I like to think of myself as a specific generalist. Between these three specialties, I can handle almost any kind of shoot. But getting a consistent and distinct look between all three specialties is the real trick. [...]
Parliament Interiors
Back in my early web design days, I worked in this tiny 800 square foot office with five other guys whose ages ranged from 21 to 60. Our wood laminate desks were back to back in rows, so you felt isolated even though you were two feet away. We had a white drop ceiling with [...]
Top 6 Reasons to Shoot in Oregon
I don’t mean to brag, but Oregon is probably the best place to do a location photo shoot. I would say even better than California, unless you’re shooting models in bikinis and board shorts (the beaches are a little chilly here). I originally moved here for personal reasons; mostly looking a change of pace from [...]
Why Microstock is Bad for Any Photographer
Lately, there’s been a lot of blog chatter about the finer points of selling microstock and how it’s a good idea. Well I, for one, want to start some chatter about how much of a bad idea it is. Keep reading Why Microstock is Bad on my new blog, Photo Pro Tips.
