Honorable Mention's

Ended up getting two Honorable Mention picks in this years Crossroads Trading Fashion Photography Contest . Woulda been cool to win big but its pretty rad to get some recognition and a little $ as opposed to so many contests that you pay to enter and never hear back from.
Props to my friends Andrew Waits/April Brimer who also got Honorable Mentions!

Road Trippen

Super Excited for 2 weeks of Photo Inspiration. This Friday, 5 Friends and I are heading out across the NW/SW in an RV with the only goals being have fun, take photographs, meet people, and see new things. Our planned stops include Austin, Bryce Canyon, Yosemite, LA, The Salton Sea, SF, The Redwoods, Sonoma, Zion, Navajo Nation, Reno and whatever else we see a long the way. Stay Tuned for a lot of photos. Im going to attempt to blog a few digitals each day. Well see...

Rodriguez is Back

Had the extreme pleasure of watching/shooting Rodriguez first time playing in Seattle. Born in Detroit to Mexican-immigrant parents, Sixto Rodriguez released his debut, Cold Fact, in 1970 to a limited overseas audience and, unbeknownst to him, became a cult hero and revolutionary icon in South Africa. Thanks to the great local Seattle Label Light in the Attic, a 2008 re-release of the original album along with its followup Coming From Reality in the U.S. brought these lost classics to a whole new audience. It recently broke within the top 50 on national charts.

Check out my favorite Rodriguez tune. Rodriguez=Sugar Man (Its worth the listen!)
