Springtime in Portland

It rains a lot in Portland and everyone knows it. So green is the prominent color every where you look but beautifully soft pink of cherry blossoms floating through the sky like snow is the perfect contrast to the sea of green.



Every time I travel, I love to visit the pioneer cemeteries of the area if time permits. Well, I had a bit of time in Portland to practice a photo stitching project and the Lone Fir Cemetery was the perfect place. In order for photo stitching to work well, everything must hold still or use a tripod. It was raining off and on (typical Portland, so I skipped the tripod and shot quickly. Good thing not much moves in a cemetery. Here's sample of how it turned out.

Band performance and low light

My friends in the band were honored to play last at a Sunday evening worship event in 5 Cities Vineyard and I was honored to be asked to record it. It was great opportunity for me to hone my skills in low light.

Senior Portraits

The term "seniors" can mean many things. Among photographers, it typically means high school or college seniors but here I'm talking about the mature crowd of those over 55. Why do we stop getting family portraits when our children grow up? id we only want the images of our children? Of course we look different but we love each other and feel safe together so why not an occasion "senior" portrait. An anniversary gift, Christmas or simply because it's spring. A professional photo of the one you love is always special, even after 55.
