This weekend I participated in a Click Walk organized by http://www.clickinmoms.com/ It has been awhile since I've done some urban photography and a welcome change for a couple of hours. There were approximately 14 women who participated this year and we got lucky with the weather. I used only one lens. Lensbaby edge 80. … Continue reading Portland Click Walk and Lensbaby

Sunrise Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm
I almost didn't go. The forecast was clear and I knew it was going to be a brilliant sunrise, but I hestiated. I set the alarm for 4am, but I almost didn't get up,. I was wide awake by that point, though, and my mind was already in motion. I knew I would regret not … Continue reading Sunrise Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm

Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival Photoshoot
For fun, I met with some very talented models and photographers at dawn at the Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival. The group was a lot of fun to work with. Great people. My main/favorite camera; however, has been in shop, so I didn't get to use it for this shoot, (bummer) and this made editing harder. … Continue reading Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival Photoshoot

Freelensing Magic
My main camera is at Nikon having recall work done on it. It has been away for about 3 weeks now, and I miss it, but I am less afraid of damaging my older camera and have been pushing myself in other ways because of it. I decided to give freelensing another go. For those … Continue reading Freelensing Magic

Clare
Recently, I worked with a college student model at Sellwood Park. She was a joy to work with. I think she is fantastic; smart, beautiful, and with a creative vision. She is also a photographer as well.

Snow in Portland, Oregon Part 2: Infrared
One thing that inspires me to shoot is curiosity. "I wonder what this will look life if I try?" I pulled out my Full Spectrum converted Nkon. d3200 with an infrared filter 695 wavelength. I forgot how magical IR can be and the way it captures light. It is ALL about where the light is … Continue reading Snow in Portland, Oregon Part 2: Infrared

Snow in Portland (part 1)
Snow hit Portland, Oregon this winter and crescendo-ed with a storm snow accumulation of 8-12 inches and it is still here almost a week later. The last time this happened was eight years ago, so I have made sure to capture as much as I could to make up for lost time. At the time … Continue reading Snow in Portland (part 1)

Christmas Light Bokeh
I played with Christmas lights over the course of 3 different sessions with my kids. Using the lights in different ways, putting tinsel in front of the lens, using creative aperture with Lensbaby double glass optic, taking pictures from outside, looking in, letting the foggy window create foggy images. It was a lot … Continue reading Christmas Light Bokeh
