Photo Of The Day: Typhoon

I was turned onto Typhoon from my good friend Melodie Knight. I picked up there record at Tender Loving Empire in Portland and have become a fan since. I finally got to see the infamous live show they put on this weekend at The Woods. They performed as part of the KEXP MFNW Broadcast I was down there shooting. I had exactly enough shots left on a roll to do some close-ups. This was the result. Check them out! http://www.myspace.com/wearetyphoon

Tasty And Sons

In my humble food loving opinion; Portland's new Breakfast Champ. Cant wait to try more next time im down.

Portland Mercury/Seattle Stranger/Keep It Light

Had the oppurtunity to travel down south to my home away from home Portland, OR. Shooting our Seattle Stranger's sister paper s (The Portland Mercury) Spring Fashion Issue: Open Season Article.



This was a fun shoot although it definitely turned into more of a challenge/adventure than we had planned. After getting to our original scouted location up in the sketchy winding logging roads to find a freak May 1st snowstorm we had to find an all new location (Stylist wasnt digging the Snow Filled Spring Vibe) and start shooting much later than planned. Even with the mishaps/NW weather, I'm happy with what we pulled off. No the guns were not my idea..nor my favorite idea but it was fun to watch Jay (The Owner) shoot them in the woods.

Also feels really cool to see my good friend/Keep It Light Collective member Lauren Max getting this week's Seattle Stranger cover. Featuring a photo of none other than our fellow KIL member Ryan Furbush . Good things are happenin! cheers to more and more!
