Couchsurfing

January 6, 2010

If you are an adventurous traveler and haven’t heard of Couchsurfing.com, let me introduce you to something great. Imagine a website where you can search for people who are open to not only showing you around their town, but hook you up with a place to stay. I’ve had nothing but great experiences the few [...]

Halloween Costumes

December 7, 2009

Ok, so I know it’s kinda too late to post Halloween photos, but I’m trying to catch up here. On Halloween, Amber and I dressed up as Day of the Dead bride and groom. Our friend Lisa (in green sweater) did the make up. The costumes were scavenged from clothes at Goodwill. We shot the [...]

The Blogger to WordPress Conversion

November 21, 2009

I don’t know if anyone has noticed it, but when I converted my blog over from Blogger to WordPress, all of my blogs lost their images. It’s a drag. I’ll see if I can figure out an easy way to get them all back. Otherwise, forgetaboutit. I’d rather spend my time adding new stuff then [...]

Thumbnail image for New Wedding Website!

After some complaints that our last website kinda sucked, I’ve redesigned our Shark & Yeti Wedding Photography website. I like how it turned out. It works with a flash slideshow, like the ones I’ve posted here on my blog. I used Adobe Golive for most of it, but found that the golive action I was [...]

Hugo House

October 24, 2009

The third Hugo House literary series kicked off last night with great music and readings from local luminaries. The theme: Truth or Dare. For such a risqué topic, the stories were fairly sombre in tone, two dealing with death and one with religious belief. However, this didn’t deter a rapt audience, one of the best [...]

October 21, 2009

Front Runner is a South African-based adventure vehicle outfitter. I just did some digital post production on a few images for them. Here’s a sample before and after. I used a variety of techniques and software, including using Photomatix, Lightroom 2, and Photoshop CS 4. Need some digital post production done? Drop me a line.

I Heart Spider Monkeys

October 19, 2009

So I worked with Kevin Horan last week shooting for a magazine you may have heard of called National Geographic.   The assignment was to photograph a pair of spider monkeys who are being tested for color blindness at the University of Washington’s research labs.  We got to the lab at about 7:30 AM and after [...]

TK Lofts Open House

October 4, 2009

The place where I live, the Tashiro Kalpaln Artist Lofts, had it’s annual open house party last Thursday.  Amber and I hung our photos in an empty loft space that also happened to be where all the donated food was, so we had lots of visitors.  Even better, the live music and bar was right [...]

I’m working for National Geographic next week…

October 2, 2009

..as a photo assistant. Still, I’m really excited about this assignment. Kevin Horan is a great photographer with whom I’ve assisted a handful of times. I can’t mention exactly what we will be doing, but let me just say it has to do with MONKEYS! I love me some monkeys.

11.5% isn’t much, but it’s a start.

September 28, 2009

All of the places I’ve visited: A mere 11.5% of the world. It’s almost unbelievable how large the world is. I feel like I’ve seen so much of the world, yet in reality, I’d need several lifetimes (and a large sum of money) to see every country with any sense of depth. I haven’t traveled [...]
