Beautiful Seattle

I had a really amazing time last night shooting the city of Seattle from a killer spot with some good friends. I'm happy with my results ... especially since we had very little time to shoot. And ... you'll probably get to see similar shots from +James Brandon, +Jacob Lucas and +Brian Matiash soon as well. I intentionally didn't look at what they were creating so it wouldn't influence my photographs, so I'm looking forward to seeing their results! :)

Happy Friday everyone, and have a wonderful weekend!

never said that I like the poppies?

We got some great news that they have pushed back the construction on the radio tower on top of Steptoe Butte until well past spring so this year's Palouse workshop will be just as much a success as last year. This workshop is a favorite of many and one you won't want to miss. We have 3 spots left! For more info, check out: http://exposurenorthwest.wordpress.com/palouse/

The Setting Sun || A 2 bottle minimum

When I arrived in Venice last June, I was exhausted. I really didn’t want to do anything. -- This is rare for me too. I’m usually always amped up to go shooting. -- So knowing that I had a few days to get the shots I wanted, I resolved to grab a few cheap bottles of wine and call it a day.

Before I went out though, I decided to check the weather. You know, just to help mentally plan the next few days of shooting... And then...

##@^^#@#ER#$# ARRGGHHH!!!! The forecast called for the next 10 days of solid rain! WTF?! Really?!

To make a long (and angry) story short, this is one of the few photos that I shot in Venice. It was also one of the only spouts of real sun in a 10 day rainy spell.

On a little side note however, it turns out that my camera bag fits 2 bottles of wine inside the pockets. That’s a win for sure. ^_^

"Last Chance to See"

Snow leopards are seriously endangered and not easy to study, but in some good news for a change, conservationists have recently spotted a pair wandering mountains which were the scene of conflict between India and Pakistan in 1999.

I took this one the first time I ever saw one face to face, at a breeding sanctuary in the South of England.

tulip season

Life has been pretty busy for me in the last week and that has pulled me away from G+ more than usual, however tulip season is almost here.

This is a photo from a couple years ago, submitted today for +Tamara Pruessner 's #floralfriday .
