Kim is Awesome

Sometimes I'm an ass and you know, that's just the way it is and will be. I think it is just human nature. But Kim has and is being very supportive of my desire to get better with my photography. Se even tolerates me stopping her while she is flipping through magazines and going, "see that catch light there . . . they probably used a big softbox to camera right."

And she will even stand-in while I am trying some new lighting technique. So thank you.

Halloween Early

I've started working on some political-themed Halloween costumes. This one is the "Right to Bear Arms" - self-portrait.

The Little Tug that Could

For Kimmy.

Here is the Little Tug working:

Fifth of July

So of course we went out and watched the fireworks around the house last night. We had fireworks just across the river at Oaks Park. The photo above is from that show. The next one is also from Oaks Park, but the smaller explosion is from a show farther down the river.

There was also a firework display downtown PDX, that we used to have a great view too as well... but that was before the South Waterfront development. I was shooting photos from just in front of the park bench they show on their home page. The photo below shows what our firework display looks like now.

Thanks PDC.

One Month

Since my last post. Sorry about that. The summers get busy. I have been taking some photos and hanging with some different people. Kim and I were at the Strid farm this past SAturday for a very fun shin-dig. Knut from Paella Works was there to provide all of the cooking entertainment and goodness in the largest saute pan I have ever seen. He said he has one that can serve 120 people. THe food was gorgeous and great tasting. Thanks to Julius for hosting.

I also have one stock photo up at PhotoShelter Collection. It is the snail from an earlier post.

Hopefully I'll get some more approved.
