This was, by far, the most relaxed and enjoyable wedding I've ever had the pleasure of shooting.

Thank you Sharon!!!

At the risk of looking extremely narcissistic, I thought I'd practice with some single light setups on the only person that was there at the time. Me.

Here are a few photos from the last few weeks.

Maple Valley Days Parade

2009-06-14T15:30:00.000-07:00

Of the many entires in this years' parade were a group of "garden" tractors. This is what happens when a group of self-proclaimed rednecks have too much time on their hands!

Matt Clayson

One of the uber-cool 2 cylinder tractors in the parade. It's a Farmall C. Dad had a 4-cylinder "Super C" we used on the farm in Whitney, ID when I was a kid.

This is a John "Willys" Deere.

Cole and the pup!

Tahoma High School's band

Clayson volunteered to help out Mr. Palmer by marching in the parade. The band lost a significant amount of members with this year's graduating class.

Emily (in the middle).

Congressman Dave Reichert

The Maple Valley Days parade is always a fun community based parade.

Clayson's Graduation

We were glad to have another one of our kids graduate a few days ago from Tahoma High School.

Vacation

2008-07-24T17:42:00.000-07:00

We had a great time with my mom and dad at the new place in town. Dad's here on his lawn tractor cutting the grass.

The photo to the left is mom and dad working on the "berm".

The photo on the right is of Clayson, in a casket. I guess the heat in SLC the day we were there visiting the pioneer village near Immigration Canyon was too much for him. I loved the carpenter's pose here.. so respectful of the dearly departed.

ASL camp

I recently had the opportunity to chaperon my son's filed trip to the Washington School for the Deaf in Vancouver, WA. I half-expected to be a quiet weekend since they're not allowed to speak out loud during this immersion-style event.

Needless to say, I was wrong.

Here are a few of the shots I took during that weekend.

Moon over Maple Valley

Here's a shot I took of the lunar eclipse of 02/20/2008.

These photos were taken on November 17th.

Powder Puff Football

2007-11-22T22:16:00.000-08:00

I had the opportunity last week to shoot both team and game pictures for the Tahoma High School footbal game. As you can see by the images below, it rained...all through the game. The seniors were victorious this year but it took them two overtime periods to do it. Enjoy the photos...

I got out and shot a family this weekend. For a location, I went to my old standby, Lake Wilderness and it provided me with another good shoot.

2007-09-29T20:46:00.003-07:00

I shot a few photos today of my nephew Brooks playing on the Enumclaw Wolverine football team.

Minnie Driver

2007-08-20T21:45:00.000-07:00

I had the opportunity to shoot Minnie Driver last Friday at her free concert at Freeway Park in Seattle. While she is a film star, she stated that her first love was her music. She just happened to be good at acting as well. For more info on her music, visit http://www.minniedriver.com/

Here are a few of the images of Friday's performance.

Update

I haven't blogged in a while, so I thought I'd chime in and let people know what I've been up to.

Last June 29th I had the pleasure of shooting Kevin and Emily Griffin's wedding at the Seattle Temple. ...in the pouring rain. Both the bride and groom took it all in stride and it was one of the most enjoyable shoot's I've ever done there, in spite of the rain.

Bridal Shoot

2007-06-16T21:26:00.000-07:00

Here's a shot from a recent wedding we did (Zac and I). It was a great day and this portrait session was a success.

I can't believe I'm doing this...

2007-06-15T12:47:00.000-07:00

OK... At the suggestion of a friend, I've started a blog to let friends and family know what I'm up to.

I'm testing this to see what it looks like when posted here:

Happy trails..
