    CONCACAF Gold Cup Event Photography – Part 3: Planning The Gear

    I get lots of questions about my photography. I like answering them. The #1 place people look at my photos are on their phones (websites, social media, etc), and the #1 tool I use to show people my photos (in person) is my phone.  The #1 question I get about the photos is “Did you…

    Great music – Check. Great crowd – Check. Great cocktails – Check! Good fun last night at The High Dive in Fremont with Bols Genever, Damrack Gin and music by Breaks and Swells for Jazz and Genever. See the entire gallery from Bols Jazz and Genever here!

    Promotional Video: Potala Place Everett

    I’ve been working with Potala Place, a new development in Everett, WA, for over 8 months.  First event photography at their Topping Off Ceremony, then again for a Farmers Roundtable Discussion about being involved in the Market at Potala Place, and again recently for a community open house which doubled as a fundraiser for Housing…

  • Seattle Event Video: Macho Libre at Snoqualmie Casino

    Seattle Event Video: Macho Libre at Snoqualmie Casino

    How close can I get? That’s the only question I needed to answer. I got the call from Snoqualmie Casino to create a video for an event they were holding on Cinco de Mayo featuring Lucha Libre wrestlers – Macho Libre.  A ring, a ref, guys in masks leaping from top ropes – I wanted…

  • Seattle Corporate Video: Washington Cigar and Spirits Festival

    Seattle Corporate Video: Washington Cigar and Spirits Festival

    Along with still photography of the event, we also worked with the Snoqualmie Casino to produce an event recap sizzle film of the 2014 Washington Cigar and Spirits Festival. All footage was shot on a Panasonic AC-90, with audio captured using a Sennheiser EW112P wireless lav and Rode NTG-2 shotgun mic.  Light was either ambient…

    Seattle Event Photography: Washington Cigar and Spirits Festival 2014

    It just keeps getting better. The Washington Cigar and Spirits Festival is exactly what guests of the event hope it will be.  Like a certain fruit-named computer company from Cupertino, CA, the guests don’t even know they want it until they see it, and then they realize that this year was the best yet, and…

    Event Photography: Bowling in Spokane with Bartenders and Sailor Jerry

    About 15 years ago, bowling saw a huge rebirth.  The Big Lebowski had just come out, there were 24 hour bowling alleys… and then things started to decline.  Real estate developers realized the land under these bowling alleys was worth much more than the pines and lanes that sat on them, and long-standing bowling alleys…

    Seattle Event Photography: Balvenie Rare Craft

    Every once in a while I have the pleasure of shooting an event that is not only fun, and (what I think is) a well produced event, but also very challenging to shoot.  Last night’s shoot for The Balvenie Single Malt Scotch Whisky at Georgetown Ballroom was one of those events! The Balvenie is only…

    Seattle Commercial Photography: Floating the Fremont Cut (and testing Instagram’s new Hyperlapse app)

    In about a week I’ll be out on a sail boat with a couple guys, cruising from Seattle’s Shilshole Marina, up and around the San Juan Islands and back, and today was a perfect day to test some gear. I’ll have 6 cameras with me for the shoot on the sail boat, but I’ve been…

  • Seattle Event Photography: Student Veterans of America Leadership Summit

    Seattle Event Photography: Student Veterans of America Leadership Summit

    Yesterday’s Warriors.  Today’s Scholars.  Tomorrow’s Leaders.  This is the battle cry of the Student Veterans of America, who held their 2014 Leadership Summit for the Pacific Northwest on the Microsoft Campus in Redmond, WA on August 14-16, 2014. These officers, representing Student Veterans of America chapters from college and university campuses in 5 states, were…
