I spent last weekend planting flowers in the front yard. It's oddly satisfying, even when I'm not successful at keeping the perennials alive from year to year. Let's see how long I can keep this rose bush alive...

Kellergeist
This should probably be on the 406 Photos site, but I’m focused on this one for now, so it is what it is. I met some friends at the temporary Kellergeist location this afternoon. They’re slinging drinks from the old Bert & Ernies location until the renovations are done at the real Kellergeist. The Biergarten... Continue Reading →
Roadblocks
One of the reasons I don’t post more is because when I sit down to write something, I feel like it has to be some long complicated thing. I feel like I need to write a draft, revise, rewrite, collect images, blah, blah, blah. Don’t get me wrong—those are all things that usually lead to... Continue Reading →
2020 Senior Banners
There are very few reasons to get up at 5am. Photography is at the top of the list of reasons. When my buddy Jason of Speaking Socially said he was going to be downtown hanging up the banners to honor this year's high school seniors, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to document the morning....

Almost Summer in the Backyard
After a brutal February and a chilly spring, summer weather is finally starting to show up. I spent about an hour in the back yard with a beer and the big lens trying to capture all the birds. Of course, they were all over the fence before I brought the camera out. But once the... Continue Reading →
Catching Up
It occurred to me that I haven't posted anything in awhile, so I figured a catch-up post was in order.
In the last post, I introduced you to Malala. I shot her senior photos way back when, and had the opportunity to shoot with her again while I was in Portland.
I aquired a small boat while in Portland. It had been sitting for 10+ years, so I hit up Les Schwab to get new tires and to have the bearings checked. Unfortunately, on my way out of Portland, I blew one of the new tires. The spare looked 20 years old, but it held all the way to Missoula.
2017 in Photos
I love data. And photographic data is the best kind. The Lightroom Dashboard gives photographers an awesome look into their Lightroom catalogs. So every year, I take a look at what I did the year before.
Back to Big Sky Country
Twenty-one years ago, I moved to Portland from Montana. I couldn't wait to get out and experience *more*. I knew there was more to life than Montana. A few years ago, I started thinking about moving back. Last summer, I decided to make it happen.
It's not that I don't still love Portland. I'm just not as in love with it as I was back then. The population doubled, but the infrastructure didn't, the political climate felt hypocrytical and strange, and the solid gray skies were starting to get to me.
So I loaded up the UHaul and drove to Montana.
Working From a Home Office
I don't talk much about my day job, though I may start in the next few months. I manage marketing content for several hundred digital signage units across the country. For the past few years, I've been doing this from home. Schedule Initially I got up, walked a few feet, and plopped down in my... Continue Reading →
2013: A year in review
Ever since I started posting photos to Flickr, I’ve used it as a way to review the previous year. Reviewing the Archive area of my Flickr account is a great way to jog the memory when writing these Year in Review posts. Even if you don’t blog, it’s fun to run back through the memories...
