Out With the Mold...I mean "Old"

Well Happy New Year everyone. Hope the holidays were great for you and that 2009 is even better.

The bathroom saga continues:

Black Mold Bathroom

So the bathroom ceiling started leaking sometime Saturday morning. I discovered it at 5:43am, because the cats were being all kinds of weird. Some handyman guy came in with the landlord today while Kim and I were at work and they left a mess and a hole in the ceiling.

They're supposed to come back on Wednesday to fix things - hopefully the leak included. Here is a photo of the hole and the black mold hiding inside.

Tilt-shift

I've taken quite a few photos for work lately and here are some I did of swim lessons and the rock gym with a photoshopped Tilt-shift effect.

Winter Storm 2008

Well it has been snowing in Portland for awhile now. Below are some pictures of the progression starting Saturday night around 5:30 pm until today at 9:00 am (and it is currently still snowing).

Family Visit 2008

So I've been shooting more bikes for Veloforma and working on the guide book for Carver Bouldering and I've also recently been to NC and back visiting family.

Below are some shot from that trip. I didn't get to shoot what I wanted, because we were stuck in the house while it proceeded to rain over 2 inches in 2 days. So I did the "gold chair shoot" in the living room at my Dad's house and a small group shot outside at my Mom's.








The next photo is the set-up for the "Gold Chair Shoot." Canon 580ex reflected out of a closed down umbrella and a Vivitar 285hv behind the chair hitting on the curtain for background separation. Various family members took turns holding the white t-shirt to add a little bounce fill.
