Yakima – Really? Really!
A few weeks ago I was in Yakima, Washington with friend and fellow photographer Daniel Galan. Right at sunset I lead the charge to ditch the wives and kids to shoot a few images before settling down to a margarita and a little of the local Mexican cuisine. After being cooped up in a hotel [...]
The Gift
I have been skiing for 25 years now. If I were about to turn 30 and not 40, I probably would be some kind of professional athlete instead of a photographer. Maybe? I only say this because statistically most professional athletes are exposed to their sport at an early age, usually before they can really [...]
Look Ma, No Hands! I Think?
I spent last night leafing through a sketch book of mine from 1994. That was right after I graduated college with a 5 year Bachelor of Architecture Degree. This sketch book was originally 100 sheets of paper. I know there are less pages in there now because I remember tearing out multiple sheets for those [...]

Having this new found “freedom”, I took the opportunity to spend one of the days exploring Olympic National Park.

Last Week-Rain, This Week-Rain, Next Week-Rain
We have returned home from the dry side of the Cascades, leaving the sun and beautiful colors of the Painted Hills behind. The weather in the Pacific Northwest is needless to say a little wet. In order to welcome us here, the rainfall average is 68% above normal. I wanted moisture. Always be careful what you [...]
