New Camera Day

I love the feeling of getting the first roll back from a new camera. Been wanting one of these lil guys for a long time and finally found one for a good steal of a price. A few of my favorites from my new Olympus XA2

The Lodge

I may have a camera collecting problem...Thanks to my friend Annie For taking this lovely photo of my new Fun Wall. Nick & I have named our new place The Lodge in honor of its wood paneling and woodsy cabin feel. Its so nice to be in a comfy place as the cold, wet, Seattle weather sets in for the season...

Creative Couples

My recent CityArts shoot with The Vardis in North Bend, WA was very inspiring. Ive always loved creative couples but they were definitely one of the most amazing I have had the pleasure of meeting. Recently relocating from NYC, both are classical master musicians who have been very well respected. Lenore and Manny (whose now 93 years old) are also both fine art painters. Specializing in oil painting. Even in their older age after years of achievements both are still deeply in love and pushing each other to create more art and show their passion in gallery's, publications, and online.
I thought id share a few creative couples work I really enjoy of different mediums.
First off..Photography:
I have been a huge fan of these two for years. They make it all look so effortless and beautiful. From lifestyle shots and Polaroids to commercial ad's and celebrities portraits.
Jeremy & Claire Weiss out of LA


Industrial Design:
Creating gorgeous products that not only look amazing, but are both functional and many are eco-friendly.
Mike and Maaike out of San Francisco



Film Set Design:
These two have been creating the scenes and visual images we remember from such amazing visual films as Pulp Fiction, Rushmore, Royal Tennanbaums and most recently, Inglorious Bastards.
Dave & Sandy Wasco

and last but not least.. I too am lucky enough to be in an amazing creative couple relationship. My Katie does both industrial design as well as her recent Jewelry Endeavor's

Its been a minute...or two

Wow..I have completely neglected to stay on top of this blog.. and i regret it. I like how blogging forces me to think about my work as well as just whats going on in my life in general. Its been a really busy few weeks but all in a positive way. Moved into a new place and away from the Central District (which has its ups and downs). Been shooting a bunch; both for fun and for work. Really excited to see some of my assignments coming out in the next month or two. Gotten to meet/work with some amazing people Also Started attending a new weekly photo group with some talented friends to stay even busier creating photos outside of work stuff. Ill plan to post my weekly shots as well as our monthly bigger scale group submissions. Its looking like Mike Mginn is our new Mayor!!! YAY Seattle! Hopefully my image will live on as part of this historic mayor election
I celebrated my 26th birthday with friends and fam.. Feelin good about another year older. Thanks to Patrick for new T-Shirt featuring a Polaroid of Myself hahaha
Ill leave you with one random inspirational Polaroid from my friend whitney in pdx:
Stay tuned for much more frequent updates!
