HOOD is Where the HeART is
Thursday, November 4, 2010

Well it's not exactly early notice but I have a gallery show tonight at Lizard Lounge downtown in the Pearl District for First Thursday. We can thank my good friend Shaun Daley for organizing and putting everything together. Check out the flyer and after the show we will put up the images and video at www.hoodart.org

Things I have been doing
Wednesday, June 16, 2010

Well I have not been on my blog but I have been working on photos for my gallery in October of NW snowboarders as well as various jobs and a climbing trip to Bishop CA. Some photos of my last 2 months.

Blog Page Change
Wednesday, April 21, 2010

As you can see my blog is no longer integrated directly into my website. Blogger has done away with FTP publishing and it caused my website not to function correctly with the blog. For the time being it will be hosted here on blogger until I have time to find an alternative that will allow me to publish it to my website again.

Aside from that I have recently updated my web portfolio and will be printing new portfolio books as well. It has been pretty exciting going through images and selecting the new work I want to share as it had been around 8 months sense I had done any type of update. I hope you enjoy looking at my work as much as I enjoy creating it.

Riders at Timberline
Friday, March 5, 2010

Great day at Timberline last week shooting some photos, got to go up with some really cool guys Shaun Daley, Josh Dwinal, Kevin Schuette and Ryan Jacobson. All in all it was an awesome day though a bit icy and I clipped my backpack on a slow sign at a pretty decent speed causing some damage to my face but it's healing up nicely.

White Water

Slippery rocks, rain, hanging over waterfalls, hiking through thick forests off trail, just another day of awesomeness.

Happy New Year!
Friday, January 1, 2010

With my first official year in business coming to a close I have started to sink back into my own head to contemplate my existence as a photographer in the world today. My images, presence, reputation, friends I have made, and the never ending list of things and events that effected myself and my business.

I fell victim to focusing only on the paid work I had coming in over the last few months and it almost feels like I forgot what my vision was. With the end of the year coming to a close it really forces you to come face to face with what you want from the future.

I took a step back to look at myself, my work and the road I have been trying to follow and I have to say I am excited for the future. I am excited about the personal projects I am starting to work on, the clients I have, the clients I plan to gain, and all the people I will get to meet on the journey.

I want to thank everyone who has taken part in allowing me to work as a photographer, the clients who put faith in me, the friends who gave encouragement and the family members who supported my dream. It may be a continuous struggle but I am lucky to be able to follow my passion.

Come Clean
Monday, December 28, 2009

I feel like I have been reserved about really letting the world into my head and allowing my business to be transparent and more about myself and my images and not just the images. In the end clients are not hiring a portfolio they are hiring a person. I was afraid, afraid of being judged or being rejected. In fact I will take this moment to get some things out in the open so I can move forward. First off I am 25 years old and don’t look older than I am. I did not go to school for photography. I haven’t had a camera in my hands since the age of 5, a little over 4 years ago I received a settlement from a car accident and some urge drove me to go buy my first camera. I will stop their since my intention was not to ramble off a list of facts about myself but those have been a few that I was afraid to share before I landed a job. I may have even convinced myself that those affected my abilities but no more. Going forward I want to keep the curtains open, I am me, I am a photographer. Keep an eye on my about page for when I ad a video bio.

A couple recently published editorial shots I like.

Photography wasn't always in my deck of cards. People would always ask me what I wanted to do and I always had a different answer, jumping from one thing to the next was how I was playing the game of life. One day I decided I had always wanted a camera and I went out and got one, from that day forward I always had the same answer "photographer" I had found my creative outlet. For me it is a constant push to one up myself. The one word I strive to have describe my images is "epic" it's the same word I want to think of when I'm at the end of my road looking back at my life.
