Willamette Week’s 2010 Restaurant Guide Cover
This is, hands down, my favorite shot I’ve taken this year. Brilliantly art directed by Willamette Week’s Carolyn Richardson, when she pitched the concept to me, I knew it was going to be a good shot. But she really went above and beyond in getting this organized so we could shoot something something truly awesome. [...]
At Home with Prometheus
I love my job. I love the work I do and I love the clients I work with. And every shoot is fun because of its inherit challenges: technical, logistical, creative. That being said, I love shooting personal work and it’s not often you get hired to shoot personal work for a commercial client. That’s [...]
Getting it Done with The Works
It’s been pretty busy summer here at LB Photo. Some great editorial work is coming out soon, but in the meantime I thought I’d recap some recent commercial work. The Works is an amazing contractor and remodeler based in Portland, OR. They’ve been responsible for making some of the wonderful glamourous interiors designed by Jessica [...]
Finish Line (Redo) | OBRA at PIR
Doh! This was suppose to post today, not yesterday. Mea culpa. Anyway, I love the very warm tones from the last shots of the day. Nothing better than a late summer sun. Sad to see it go. And so concludes my little photo series of OBRA bike racing at PIR. If you’d like to see [...]
Bank | OBRA at PIR
Here’s Kevin again going for it along the S bank on the west side of the track. That sun flare is real, BTW.
No Division | OBRA at PIR
In racing, there’s only milliseconds between you, another rider, and wipeout. Fortunately, nobody hit this the day I was there.
S Curve | OBRA at PIR
Today I’m starting a 6 days of shooting in a row. Each day is either for a different client or in different location all over Oregon and Washington. When it rains it pours!
Fast Track | OBRA at PIR
I have a very busy week coming up, so not much time for commentary. I like this shot though. A rider ahead of the pack. No crowds cheering her on. Just sole determination to push herself and stay in the lead. A strong metaphor for life in general.
Pacesetter | OBRA at PIR
Kevin (who you might recognize from my wife’s blog post or from Portland Bride & Groom) is the kind of guy that does everything to the max. I respect that. As a chef, he’s incredibly talented and passionate about food. As a cyclist, he likes to push out hard and the lead first few laps, [...]
Warm Up | OBRA at PIR
This is Aaron getting in the zone before the race. He’s a pretty big deal, in case you didn’t know.
Race On | OBRA at PIR
Earlier this week, my buddies Kevin and Aaron invited me out to watch them race at PIR. I’ve seen bicycle races before, but never on an auto race track. The idea is so cool, I just had to go. It was fun to watch and even more fun to shoot. With late summer sun and [...]
Track is Hot | OBRA at PIR
Whole new photo series starts today. Stay tuned for some 2 wheel racin’ action!
Signal
I’ve decided to officially bring back my daily photo blog (Ides of May) as part of this larger blog/site/archive/thing. Most importantly, I’ve imported all the old 400+ photo posts and comments from the ides-of-may.com domain and put them here. I’m also (slowly) uploading high rez versions to my Photoshelter Archive, so if you see something [...]
Portland Monthly – Harpoon House
The August 2010 issue of Portland Monthly just came out and I am really excited about this tearsheet from it. This custom built modern home, nicknamed Harpoon House, designed by Matt Kirkpatrick and Katherine Bovee has only 704 square feet of livable space. Shooting was really cool experience because it felt much larger than that. [...]
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. [...]
