i found this photo while looking for photos for my website. it was shot at a sweet slab of sandstone in portland, oregon last year. it was barely raining, but people were climbing anyway. this is one of my favorite photos of rock climbing.

my brother got the flu a few days ago and i was feeling the early warning signs, so i made a huge pot (a few gallons) of chicken soup. here is a quick shot of a bowl. i always have my camera near when i eat. notice how it was chicken soup, NOT pork.

here are a few shots of Cindy Freeman for her website that will be coming out soon. we wanted to get a variety of cool toned images to match the feel of her site.

im trying to put the soul back in food, cooking, and eating. i picked beets, baby carrots, zucchini, and peppers from the garden yesterday, and within a half hour i prepped, cooked, shot, ate, cleaned, and threw the remnants into my back patio compost bucket. there's something so soulful about properly cooked vegetables prepared simply.

here's what's on the plate: zuicchini with course mineral salt and pepper, beets with balsamic vinegar and course salt and pepper, chicken thigh with course salt, pepper, oregano, and tyme, and baby carrots with red wine vinegar, tyme, oregano. i cut the pepper to use with the carrots, but i forgot them on the board.

i shot some cool senior portraits with kristina the other day. we did a quick shoot in encinitas at some cool outdoor secret spots.
