“She’s got class and style
Street knowledge by the mile,
Baby never act wild
Very low key on the profile
Catching villains is a no,
Let me tell you how it goes
Curves the words, spins the verb
Lovers it curves so freak what you heard…”

This has been on repeat….

I must be quite back-logged as I’m still editing pics from last summer. Oh well, not a bad problem to have! After taking the past few months off from photography, I’m finally going through my mountain of files. Up first is this sunrise near the Mt. Baker ski area. I’ve been up to this area near Mt. Baker quite a few times and was finally rewarded with a good sunrise behind the famed Mt. Shuksan. Enjoy!

You can barely see it but I’m holding my fly rod in this pic. One of my photography goals this year is to take some fly fishing pictures this year. I went out and was casting in this river while my camera was taking photos every second. I’m trying to figure out which type of cast looks the best. Also I’m trying to find out which situations make the fishing line stand out while it’s in the air. Is it a darker background with a light colored line or the opposite? I guess I’ll find out this year. I didn’t care for those photographs so I’ll keep practicing.
Anyways, here’s shot from Abiqua Falls near Silverton, Oregon. Abiqua Falls has one of the best approaches I’ve experienced. (I mean assuming you don’t fall down the mountain like I did… I took the wrong trail.) It isn’t until you come around the big cliff walls that you can see the falls. It’s pretty incredible. You can hear it from so far away too, which just adds to the anticipation. It’s not like Silver Falls (another waterfall in the area) which basically has a parking lot attached to it. This waterfall has a much more remote feeling to it.

This photograph is comprised of two horizontal photos vertically stacked for a really wide angle. I also used a 5 stop ND filter for the waterfalls and the little stream.

Taken at Palouse Falls in Eastern Washington on a recent trip. I’ve been experimenting with long exposures to convey a sense of movement in my photos recently, this is my latest one.

Please view this on black by clicking the photo. Thanks! http://bit.ly/1hg6ROZ http://on.fb.me/1dSi4AK Living here in the beautiful Pacific Northwest of the USA is awesome. But it also has it’s downfalls. One being that there is SO MUCH awesomeness and SO MUCH natural diversity that it’s hard to decide where to go and what to do. It’s DEBILITATING. It also doesn’t help that I’m one of the most easygoing ‘down for whatever’ dudes out there… much to my girlfriends dismay. It also doesn’t help that when we finally decide where we’re going and what we’re doing that I completely hijack the itinerary, ignore her while i’m in my ‘ZONE’, and get lost in creating photos. She’s a good sport and I greatly appreciate her support of my work and isn’t bothered that this all happens. She’s also the most beautiful girl in the world.. so win win win for me. The day I took this photo… it was a beautiful, sunny day. One of th first ones that we had in a while. The ideas started to roll. Shold we go to the coast? The mountains? The high desert? The gorge? Waterfalls? Streams? Vistas? WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?!?!?!?!? We just got in the car and drove… that way. And then we turned down.. this street.. and that street. It finally became time to do my typical hijack. ‘Hey babe.. I think we’re by this one place. Let’s go.’ And we did. Conditions weren’t necessarily epic this day. There were a lot of people out and I did a lot of waiting and ‘get out of MY PHOTO’ thinking as people admired the pretty awesome view from the bridge. But it was beautiful. The water is a sexy blue/green color and it really made me want to go swimming. I spent a lot of time on this photo. More than I care to admit. There are some sexy streaks from the 6 second exposure and bubbles floating downstream that I was really attached to. I wanted to bring them out in the photo but it was difficult to separate the tonality of them from the surrounding water so that I could dodge them and have them still look natural. I guess I’ve been in a processing rut and even debated (and was talked into) not releasing this one. ‘There’s too much water’ they said. ‘You have better photos out there’ they said. But I guess this one is for me. So I cropped the bottom third-ish of the frame and polished it off. You have those sometimes. I hope you enjoy it.
