After a bit of a hiatus from blog updates, I just want to say I’m still here – still paddling along! I’ve been completing assignments for publications, non-profit organizations and businesses in the Portland, Oregon area more than fourteen years. It’s always a pleasure to meet new people, see new things and dig a little… Continue reading Paddling Along

Heart Camp Video
I’ve been keeping things from this place and that’s not good. Life has been busy, work has been wonderful and the craziest time of year, Summer, is right around the corner. So I’m going to do a few updates here with current work and ongoing projects. To start, here’s a video I shot and edited… Continue reading Heart Camp Video
Soaring Above the Oregon Coast
[photoshelter-img i_id=”I0000BEaTit6IZ1o” buy=”0″ width=”950″ height=”653″] Hovering in a tiny helicopter above a colony of seagulls, suspended in the salty breeze above the Siuslaw River, I realized I was in a dream. I’d always wanted to be high in the air, looking down on members of my favorite taxonomical rank: aves. I see birds at the feeder in… Continue reading Soaring Above the Oregon Coast
Just One Punch
I was just digging around my archive and found a few photos I hadn’t thought about in nearly ten years. I don’t follow boxing, but it it’s been nearly impossible to avoid news of last weekend’s “Fight of the Century” between Mayweather and Pacquiao and the controversy swirling around it. Looking at the images I wondered how… Continue reading Just One Punch
The Source of Hoppiness
Hopworks asked me to join the crew at the The Oregon Hophouse recently as they harvested hops. You can read my report and see more images at the Hopworks site here.
Timberline Lodge in 1859 Magazine
It was raining in Portland. No surprise there. I wasn’t sure, however, what was happening up on Mount Hood where I was heading for a wintery story. I’d heard snow and I’d heard rain. Thankfully the driving drops turned to graceful flurries below Government Camp and the accumulation got deeper and deeper as I powered… Continue reading Timberline Lodge in 1859 Magazine
Million bottle milestone
Somewhere in the Northwest, temporarily tucked in a little black and yellow box with eleven of its buddies, is Hopworks bottle number one million which slid off the tiny bottling line late last week. I stopped by the brewery yesterday to shoot the new-and-improved 22-ounce Abominable Winter Ale bottle as it came off that same… Continue reading Million bottle milestone
Traveling the Backroads of Oregon
It’s one of those places where you announce, though quietly so as to not disturb the silence: I could live here. That rarely happens to me these days. But as I drove backroads chasing motorcycle riders across the northeast corner of Oregon, it did cross my lips. The peace, the beauty, the elk, the rivers,… Continue reading Traveling the Backroads of Oregon
Cyclocross in 1859 Magazine
I usually photograph many cyclocross races throughout the fall and early winter. This year, however, I only went to two in search of images. The good people at 1859 Magazine asked me to wander the course in search of racers and fans for a spread in the January/February issue. I couldn’t resist going to Bend… Continue reading Cyclocross in 1859 Magazine
Good Morning
This dog came running up the hill barking at me, shattering the quiet dawn as I shuffled past grape vines loaded with fruit. Light was pooling in the east behind Mount Jefferson and Mount Hood, the sky was clear and deep blue and black, and I was suddenly trying to find a spot, any spot,… Continue reading Good Morning
