Proud Dad...
Tonight was the "50's Sock Hop" at my daughter's elementary school. One thing I've noticed about your kid starting kindergarten is that YOU make a lot of new friends. This is my new friend, John, taking a picture of his daughter competing in the hula hoop contest. His daughter and my daughter are new best friends from school. To see them play together is like watching one brain in two bodies. Lucky shot to catch the flash, sure, but what struck me was I can almostfeel the pride he does, capturing this moment, as she is the last one "hoopin" in her contest. Never got to see his shot (hope I look cool, Daddy-O!) and oh yeah, I did blur the background. I had to. There are too many lawsuits out there :-)
I am a commercial photographer based in Portland, Oregon, USA. Originally from NJ, educated in AZ, PA, & NY, I moved to Oregon in 1996, shooting primarily advertising, editorial and lifestyle; weddings, portraits, products, locations , seniors, sports, reunions and special events, capturing moments and telling visual stories.
Partial client list includes: Bristol-Myers Squibb, Caldwell College, CBS Records, Coates & Clark, Danskin, EC Company, Exxon, Johnson & Johnson, The Lawrenceville School, Lionel Trains LLC, Manos del Uruguay, Manufacturers Hanover, McCarter Theatre, McNeil Pharmaceuticals, Mid-Atlantic Country Magazine, New Jersey Outdoors Magazine, Nike, Northwest Sports Photography, Paragon Tile & Stone, Platt Electric, Premiere Homes Magazine, Pfizer, Sierra Club, Sprint, Tower Records, Weldotron.
Often I'm asked to be a guest speaker for art associations, communication/business groups and I always enjoy speaking to student groups as well. When not photographing in the studio or on location, I have fun with my wife and daughter, family and friends, camping, traveling, rafting, cross-country & downhill skiing, and photographing nature & motorsports!

Hey B, did you try your hand at the hula? This is a good image. The dad's flash is what does it. How's the new toys treating you?
