Protrait work.
Recent portrait work. This is a film shot from March 2017 with Joe Ruffin and family. This one turned out pretty well.
Eagle Creek Fire, September 2017
There are once-in-a-lifetime events that define the way we see the world. Some of these are world changing. Some are regional. Some are good, and some are bad. September 2017 will be a watershed for the remainder of the...
The Eastern Columbia Gorge and the Oregon / Washington Rain Shadow
I’ve been falling in love with the eastern Columbia Gorge for about a decade, so one would think that the falling would be done by now. I grew up in the deciduous forests of central Pennsylvania, where summers were lush,...
Shooting 8×10 again!

Moving to the Columbia Gorge.
The house is sold. Part of the selling process was the Dismantling of the Darkroom. It was a very sad day. I tore apart the 7′ sink that I built, tore down the shelves, painted the walls white, and installed...
