Landscape - Morel Hunting

Last weekend, I went up the McKenzie River with a few friends to find morel mushrooms. We were reasonably successful, bringing home enough for us to cook and enjoy. Though I was more focused on the ground, I did take a few photos while wandering through the wilderness.

Product - New Belgium's Mothership Wit

Charlie Kloppenburg called me a couple of weeks ago to hang out in his studio and work on a concept shot of New Belgium's Mothership Wit. Though I have been really busy with web development projects as of late, it seemed like the perfect way to spend an afternoon: a friend, photography, and beer. Below are the results of our effort.

*On a side note: though I have been drifting away from wheat beers the last couple of years, I found this one surprisingly good. It's organic to boot.

iPhone - NE Portland and a Sunset in California

I have been caught without a camera a couple of times since I last caught up on my iPhone shots: once while walking around NE Alberta Street in Portland, where random wanderings brought me to Vernon Tank Playground; and again while driving back up from LA on I-5.

Event - Team Casino at The Heathman Lodge

Friday night was spent partying with Team Casino at The Heathman Lodge in Vancouver, Washington. The atmosphere was great, with both sides of the gaming tables having a fantastic time. This was the first Team Casino event that I had been to where they had betting on horse racing. Though there were a few good shots that came out of the night, I'm only posting one. If you want to see more, you will just have to check the Team Casino Facebook page in the coming days: https://www.facebook.com/TeamCasino.

Press Conference - Virgin Oceanic

I was lucky enough over the last couple of weeks to work on the Virgin Oceanic website. The site went live on Tuesday, coinciding with a press conference in Newport Beach, California announcing the plans for the five dives. The web team, of Lau Design Lab, was invited to join in on the fun, and to enable public access to the site at precisely 10:30 a.m. Karen Lau let me borrow her camera to capture some of the happenings, after I had left mine in the car. It was my first press conference, but I think the images turned out okay.
