I took this photo back in 2011 but it stays in my mind from time time to time. It has both the walker that my grandpa was using at the time and the cross that be followed. There is something about the idea of getting old and nearing the end and idea around moving on to another place that just intrigued me.
I saw it while looking through old photos and thought is would be good to post, as grandpa has been gone now for a while and who knows what comes after.
Seafair Saturday on the water is the best way to experience everything that is going on in Seattle in the summer. Lots of boats, sun, people watching, and loads of entertainment.
Here are a variety of pictures to show the entertainment.
Lots of T & A.
Lots of boats watching the air shows
Caught a dude flipping off of the ferry.
Snow and spring in Seattle.
It was very cold in Seattle for the Superbowl parade. After an hour delay (traffic sucked), we saw the winner team come down 4th ave. It was cool to see the amount of support for the team.
I will be showing and selling my work at the upcoming RAW TRANSLATIONS show in Seattle on September 28 @ 6pm. Come check it out.

There was a pretty nice show on the north end of lake Washington this year. Hosted by the city of Kenmore.
A week ago I attended the Fremont Solstice Parade. I missed the beginning with all the bikers, but still got a lot of shots of the parade.
Many more photos are on my gallery site.

Tahiti is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. The water is crystal clear, and everything is in techno color when looking around. Just amazing!
Here are some picture from the trip. More will be posted on my gallery site soon.
One of the most colorful and fun runs I have attended, Color Vibe Seattle 2013 was a 5k run at Bellevue College. If was a lot of fun to walk around and photograph everyone getting their color on.
Here are some of the photos from the day. A full gallery is located on my gallery site:
I have been behind on my blog for a few months. Work has been crazy busy. I plan to catch up and keep new content going.
A few weeks ago it was 80+ degree in Seattle so I took the kids to a nice lake for some swimming. The water was freezing cold, but they didn't mind too too much.
Here are some photos from the day.
I attended the CreativeLIVE Photoshop week photo walk at Pike Place Market yesterday. It was fun to get out and take some pictures. There was a beautiful sunset. Otherwise it was the typical Pike Place Market after it has shutdown.
I had a wonderful time shooting several woman a few weeks ago at Grim's Butterfly lounge in Seattle. This place is awesome. Anyone looking for a venue for a party, check out their butterfly lounge. So cool!
The shoot was a cooperation between myself and Scotty Provo, one of Seattle's finest makeup artists.
I am going to post a few blog entries to encompass all of the pictures. Here is the first.
For this blog post we have Tawnie. She modeled a few outfits in a variety of poses. Here are a selection of photos from the shoot.
I had the privilege of shooting several woman during a test shoot with Scotty Provo. Here is the first of the edited images. More to come over the next week.
I have a new host for my site, Squarespace.com. So far they have been awesome and the site looks great. Come check out the new look and ping me with any feedback.
I am looking for more shoots this year. Valentines day is coming up, get some photos for yourself or a spouse, boyfriend, or girlfriend.
I also have a photo show coming up in February. More details to come on time and location.
Happy new year!

I had the privilege of shooting a fashion event for a friend, Scotty Provo, and his new fashion line, ScottiMarie. It was a fun time and the clothes looked great. Everyone who attended had a great time.
For more info about ScottMarie, go to scottimarie.com.
The show started with some belly dancing from Rebecca.
Followed by the line of beautiful models and ScottiMarie fashions.
Many thanks to Scotty Provo and friends for setting up the event.

I ended up taking the kids to the Pacific Science Center today. It was one of the first sunny days we have had on a weekend in a while. Here are some shots I got of my kids playing at the center.
I had the opportunity to take photos at the Seattle Central Library today with the Microsoft meetup group. There was a pretty good turn out. The only downside was tripods were not allow in the library (stupid "liability" rules). It was my first time in the library and it was awesome. Between all the books, architecture, and colors it was a cool experience.
I didn't want to wait for the bus home so I decided to walk. It was only three miles. On my route was the Space Needle, EMP, Kerry Park, and a variety of nice neighborhoods. I managed to snap a few photos on the way home as well.
It's been a while since I have been able to get out on a photo walk. A business trip to Portland presented a good opportunity get out at night and shoot some photos of downtown Portland right before the Christmas holiday. Thanks to @katiejoyphoto for joining and leading the way. I was shooting with my Canon t2i, 50mm 1.8, and tripod.
I walked through the Occupy Wall street protests yesterday. It was nice to see a bunch of people peacefully getting together in the cold and not having cops beat the shit out of them like in New York and other parts of the world. Hopefully everything will stay peaceful and some changes will come from the protests, mainly around corruption of government.
I walked with several others in the Scott Kelby Worldwide Photo walk through Pike Place Market last Saturday. It was fun to see what everyone was shooting and meet new local photographers. Beer after the walk was a nice way to end the day. I'm just glad I didn't have to drive back to Portland that night like some of the photographers there.
