Easter at the Beach...
Wow, over a month between blog entries, I must have been busy. Where did March go? Lots of "vanilla" portraits, nothing that hasn't been posted here, (but may be :-), client meetings and some travel. We managed to get the family away for a few days to the beach house at Lincoln City over Easter weekend. Five dozen hard boiled eggs to keep the little ones happy, beautiful weather, and we even inherited a beach fire from a young couple who were leaving on our second day, right out in front of the house! It was like "Quest for Fire" where we succeeded in keeping the embers going for the four days we were there! On our last evening, all set to go down, another family had taken it over! We chalked it up to natural progression and saluted them from our deck. Setting up the martini shot, I kept seeing it as a cover (Oregon Coast, Coastal Living?) and left room in the sky for the masthead. Seemed like a good idea at the time. Perhaps it was that first martini...!
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!
