Washington State High School 4A Football Championship Game

Over the weekend I had the opportunity to photograph the Washington state 4A high school football championship game at the Tacoma Dome. While I don’t usually do sports photography it’s an area I’m exploring and I had a good time creating some images from the game. Here are a few favorites.

Brad Feld & Jason Mendelson Talk Venture Capital at Urban Airship

Last week I had the opportunity to photography Brad Feld and Jason Mendelson, two of four directors in the Foundry Group, a Boulder-based venture capital firm. While in Portland, they led a talk and panel discussion on various topics related to funding, founding, and legal topics for entrepreneurs. The event was in the big open space at Urban Airship, who just happened to announce a big funding round this week. Here are a few photos from the evening.

How is Photography Pricing Calculated?

Pricing seems to be one of those mysteries in the photography world that can end up confusing potential clients. I aim to make things as simple as possible with a flat-rate pricing model that ensures my clients don’t run into any surprises.

I recently updated my pricing page to offer both the quick summary of how my pricing works as well as more details and backstory for those curious to learn more.

If you’re looking for great images without pricing and billing hassle, let’s talk!

Continuing Photography Education: Hot (Air Balloon) Photos

Last weekend I traveled down to California to attend a photography workshop. I feel that it’s important to always be honing my photo skills and learning new things in order to better create great images for myself and my clients.

One portion of the workshop involved our group (seven attendees) creating images to document the Sonoma County Hot Air Balloon Classic. Here are a couple images; or you can view all of my selections from the event.

140 Character Conference: Public & Private Sector Social Media

Last week I had the pleasure of leading the photography team at the 140 Character Conference held in Vancouver, Washington. The 140 Character Conference events focus on realtime social media, with this particular conference having the angle of how public agencies can best work with private businesses and citizens to use social media as an effective communications tool. Along with an assistant photographer and a photo editor, we created images throughout the day and pushed those photos to the web for near-realtime consumption and sharing.

I had a great time doing some event photography here in Vancouver Washington at the Hilton Convention Center. Here are a few representative images from the event:
