Kayla and Coffee

I never have quite as much time as I’d like when I visit Portland. So instead of big shoots that require driving and setup and all that, we opted for something simple this time. Ava Roasteria has a great location…

Buying the daniel.photo domain name

When the .photo TLD was released, I really, really wanted to grab daniel.photo for myself. I jumped online the day .photo came out, and tried to buy it. Of course, a domain hoarder had already purchased it. I emailed them (Uniregistry/Domain Name Sales) to see what kind of price they were looking for...

New Courthouse Photos

Had the opportunity to fly the courthouse today. Beautiful blue skies and a shiny copper dome. New photos on the courthouse project page. Shot a few seconds of video while I was up there, too. Playing around with the Point…

Kanchan and Kayla

Another trip to Portland means another shoot with my favorite models. Ashlee couldn't make it this time, so Kanchan, Kayla, and I headed out in search of snow. We found a little up at Stub.

I had the opportunity to take the Mavic up to capture some of the roof restoration project at the Cascade County Courthouse.

On my last trip to Portland, I managed to squeeze in a shoot with my three favorite models.

Columbia River Gorge

I came back to Portland for a two week visit yesterday, (more on the move to Montana later.) Driving through the Columbia River Gorge was eerie. The rain was pouring down, there was a thick layer of smoke, and every…
