Recent portrait work. This is a film shot from March 2017 with Joe Ruffin and family. This one turned out pretty well.
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.
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, […]
