Had the fun task of shooting some of Seattle’s best seafood in town. Featuring everything from Beer battered Fish & Chips to EEL (that mouth watering opening image from LARK) & Raw Oysters. I cannot deny that I did indeed eat that entire plate of Oysters.
Some of my favorites from a fun shoot with real families for Winter 2013 L.L Bean Gear.

Michael Lerner aka Telekinesis is releasing a new record Dormarion this april via the always great MERGE records. I shot some promotional portraits for the record here in Seattle. These two were a couple of my favorites from the day.
Kurtwood Farm’s is part 2 in my series on Northwest Cheese Farms. I had a great morning shooting at the Vashon Island cheese farm. Kurt Timmermeister’s Dinah wheel cheese (a soft, buttery Camembert-style cheese) has been one of my favorites for the past year. It was wonderful meeting the man behind it. Kurt was such a humble and lovely human. The tucked away farm fits right in on Vashons hippy island vibe. I hope to enjoy one of his many communal dinners thrown on the property.

I shot Seattle DJ Spencer Manio for an NPR Piece written about his new gig at PLAY Networks. The story was written by one of my favorite people to collaborate with; Andrew Matson. Check it out HERE.
Did my best at creating a fun holiday still life for this week inspired by the classic Dutch Masters paintings. Big thanks to Ashley & Gabe Rodriguez for the food styling collaboration. I had the pleasure of using a Phase Digital 645 back on a commercial job last week and used it after-hours for this still-life. The resolution was unbelievable. CLICK HERE for a lovely high res jpg version that is still only at about 1/4 the size it could be.

I spent a lovely fall afternoon shooting the Bella Luna Farm’s in Snohomish, WA. They are part of a booming N.W Cheese making scene that has been super fun to document in a new series i’m working on. Their goat cheese was incredible!…especially with those pickled chantrelle mushrooms they foraged. Here are some of my favorites from the day. 
I had the pleasure of shooting Phil Elevrum (Mt. Eerie) for Self-Titled Magazines new amazing issue. For this spread they had Phil talk about his two new records breaking them down track by track. I have been a longtime fan of Phil’s music projects (The Microphones/Mt. Eerie) and working with him is is great. For this shoot we took a walk around my own neighborhood in the central district of Seattle, WA.
I shot a local tech innovator Nathan Kundtz for this weeks Bloomberg Businessweek (read the article here). He has developed a new technology that could quickly replace the satellite dish as we know it. He was a really inspiring guy to talk to and fun to shoot. With Bill Gates as the primary investor in his company, I’m sure he will continue to create and innovate.
During my recent first trip to Chile shooting for the upcoming LLBean Holiday campaign, I brought along my trusty Mamiya 7. These were a few of the shots I snapped during the trip. Chillan was a stunning place to see. Several hours from the coast of Chile tucked into the Andes, it was mostly a small ski/snowboard town but the views never ceased to amaze.
