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 in Progress Ridge next to a large pond. There are outdoor tables on the west... Continue Reading →
New Courthouse Photos
The scaffolding is off the dome, and the light was outstanding tonight. New photos at the bottom of the project page.

While updating my iPhone this morning, I noticed a line item that said the USB adapter on the Lightning camera connection kit will now work with the iPhone. I sold my old connection kit with my old iPad Mini, so I haven't been able to test it yet, but if it's true, this is great... Continue Reading →
