Balloon Burn at Liftoff: 2011 in Five

December 27, 2011 By Leave a Comment

I’m sharing five memorable images from 2011 this week. Here’s the second of the series.

Hot Air Balloon Liftoff Photo

I love doing event photography in Portland, Seattle, and other areas. In June I attended an event in Santa Rosa California; I was able to create images documenting a morning at the Sonoma County Hot Air Balloon Classic. In this image we see a balloon crew just after liftoff; brilliant flames are warming the air as the craft begins to soar into the sky. I was quite pleased with the flames, the sunlight angle, and the look on the crew member’s face as he gazes back towards the ground.

Andrew Nacin Portrait at WordCamp Seattle: 2011 in Five.

December 26, 2011 By Leave a Comment

I’ll be sharing five memorable images from 2011 this week. It was challenging to narrow the year down to five images since there are so many more memories and stories that didn’t make the cut. That said, let’s get started; I’ll be presenting the images in the order they were made.

Photo of WordPress core developer Andrew Nacin

As a photographer involved with the community surrounding the WordPress blogging software, I attend a few events each year to share my blog knowledge with others, pick up some new tips for myself, and interact with the community. At WordCamp Seattle in April, I made photos of a bunch of folks including WordPress core developer Andrew Nacin. It was great to meet him in real life after having only previously interacted online and I enjoyed creating photos of the various attendees including Nacin.

Getting Abstract and Physical

December 15, 2011 By Leave a Comment

As we wrap up 2011 and move into the new year, one area I’ll be expanding business is into the realm of fine art, attempting to do some offline sharing of work that has for the most part existed only in electronic form. I have a lot of fun creating abstract photo art, and I think this will be the first area I tackle in seriously offering my work for sale in a tangible form.

Light and water at play

I’m currently evaluating options for what I will offer. Large prints? Canvas? Metal? If you have any specific thoughts about what sort of form you’d be interested in seeing artwork, I’d love to hear from you either with a comment or by sending me an email.

Washington State High School 4A Football Championship Game

December 5, 2011 By Leave a Comment

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.
