Re-design with WordPress
April 27th, 2010This site is now entirely output by wordpress. I find theming Wordpress to be quick and satisfying. BTW, Hedengren’s Smashing Wordpress was the most helpful text I found.
Bridges
April 10th, 2010
My personal work is generally shot on film, and often with an archaic view camera. These images of steel truss bridges were made with a 7×17 inch banquet camera. I printed them with cyanotype chemistry on all-rag watercolor paper.
Bars and Restaurants
April 10th, 2010
I’ve had a lot of gigs photographing restaurants, mostly for Seattle Weekly. I enjoy shooting in low light, with digital equipment, and a little bounced flash.
Dance Work
January 10th, 2010
I’ve been shooting dance photography for years. My work with the Maureen Whiting Company, Scott/Powell, Amy O’Neal’s Locust, and the (sadly defunct) 33 Fainting Spells has been particularly satisfying.
Cab Drivers
April 10th, 2008
This was such a fun news shoot. Seattle’s cab drivers were outraged at King County’s taxi licensing policies. The climax was a public meeting with all the taxi drivers taking out their frustrations on one pasty county bureaucrat who obviously didn’t know much about the lives of the drivers who’s livelihood the county was threatening.
The Glenwood Rodeo
June 9th, 2007
Its not really my culture, but I love rodeo. I grew up in Boston, Massachusetts, and never went to any rodeo until I was in my thirties. But I find the machismo, the western esthetic, the horses and bulls exciting.
