This is one of my first photo’s when I got serious about photography that I was really proud of. I always loved the moon but the crescent shape back then was what I tried to photograph. Now, I would of tried to get the moon full and large and the sunrise. My preference now is large and full. Who knows what my flavor of the week will be in a few years.

This is my winning photo in the Professional Category for the PhotoOfTheYear.net contest, which had it’s awards ceremony at the Oregon Historical Society this weekend. It was pretty fantastic to see it printed on a wall, people looking and talking about it. With some of the proceeds of the event going towards Outdoor School it was also nice to learn that I have a testimonial about my experience at outdoor school in their new book “Counting the Rings”. It was an amazing weekend.

I didn’t get a lot of time to take photos of our snow since I had to make sure I made it home alive. What I did get I’m in love with. Snow doesn’t happen that often in Portland but when it does it gets my heart pumping.
Dooney was an amazing subject to take photos of for a calendar. I was amazed at how patient he was but he responded perfect with the help of treats. Trisha and I found this Turkey at Lippmans and he wouldn’t stop talking trash about how amazing he was at blinking contests. Well, Dooney challenged Turkey and even though Turkey won, a lot of respect was earned.
This is the photo we used for the month of April for the Dooney Calendar. I have no idea how we got him to make this face, i’m sure a lot of treats were used. Dooney dog was a professional, and would love to work with him again.
Airplane Pilot Dooney!, originally uploaded by Squid Vicious.I recently had a secret photo shoot with my soon to be sister in laws dog who is currently in Pakistan doing work. For the holiday we wanted to put a calendar together of her dog with different costumes and props for each month. This photo was for month June. Dooney was an amazing model. He had a lot of fun letting us dress him up for an exchange of treats. It’s really fun to think of what kind of props you can use during months that were not home of a National holiday.
This year for me wasn’t as crazy as last year in the photographing of live concerts department. But it still was a magical year of great music. In 2012 I hope to see some fantastic artists and take my photography of concerts to a new level. The level being 11!

The year of 2011 has been amazing. I had a ton of great times, I got engaged to the amazing Trisha. I wanted to share a few of my favorite shots. But not the normal list that you might see from everyone else. These are shots that you haven’t seen. You’ve seen a shot or two from an adventure but I never posted/published or released these into the world. These are shots that made the cutting room floor for no particular reason, but now I want to share them with you now!
