Seattle

Sign of the Times

in ,

The city falls silent, just the whisper of leaves and the roar of empty planes approaching SEATAC. The local coffee shop shuttered, the chorus of barista small talk, paper cups hitting the counter and the hiss of the steamer no more. The playground once filled with screeching children at play, now sealed off looking like a crime scene.

Everyone shelter in place.

Sign of the times.

Chase The Light 2019

in

This year I’ve submitted images to a few local galleries and contests simply for the experience. If selected to show my work that’s the cherry on top. This is the first year I’ve contributed to the Photographic Center Northwest’s fundraiser Chase the Light, formerly known as Long Shot. Chase the Light is a 48 hour photo shoot taking place over June 8th - 9th to raise money for the Photographic Center Northwest. I’ve taken a few classes at the center and it’s sort of become my second home and my photographic community, find your tribe right?

These images were made on a round trip ferry sailing from Seattle to Bainbridge Island. What’s really cool is that one of these images will be selected to be shown at the Chase the Light exhibit taking place on June 15th. I’ll keep you posted.

Rolleiflexin'

in ,

A few sacred frames from the Rolleiflex. I say sacred not because of the subject matter but because of the time. Rarely these days do I go out just for the sake of making images. When I exposed these frames that was one of those days. I took the Rollleiflex over the Leica that day because I wanted to slow down and take my sweet ass time. Note to self, make time for the sole purpose of shooting this summer. Oh and these were shot on old faithful Kodak Tri-X 400, forgive the puns I’m a dad now and they just come so easy.
