Talking Yoda Portraits

I got a dashboard Yoda for a friends' birthday. But before I wrapped it I got to shoot it with a 60mm Macro lens in one hand and a flash in the other. I tried lighting him from different angles and am impressed with how good he looks for being so small. The phrases he repeats are awesome.

Aerial Photography

I had the fabulous opportunity to ride in the back of a Citabria for a half hour one afternoon. We circled Seattle and I even pretended to fly a bit. Unfortunately I was busy doing that during the most impressive rainbow fest I've ever seen. But I did get a few interesting photos.

Mukilteo Waterfront

On a rare, beautiful day in the Pacific Northwest, I got to hang out on the Mukilteo waterfront to watch the sun set. I only had my infrared camera at the time though.

Kirkland Waterfront

I had some time to kill in Kirkland one afternoon, so I wandered around and shot up the waterfront.

Snowshoeing at Longmire, Mt. Rainier

The road to paradise was closed when we arrived so we had to snowshoe around Longmire instead. That was just fine because we were all still a little worried about avalanches in paradise. We followed the trail along the river and ate lunch a couple miles up where the view was excellent. It was seriously cold. By the time we got back, they’d opened the road. So we drove to paradise to see the view for 5 minutes before heading back home.

Christmas Dinner 2007

C and I went to Marc & Heidi's on Christmas Day. They have two really cute kids and two fabulously friendly cats. Purvis is grey, and Cooper is orange. C says her arm is sore from carrying Isadora around. It snowed an inch or two while we were there so we were all excited. I spent a lot of time shooting the cats.

The Paramount

C and I went to see Collective Soul, David Gray, and KT Tunstall at the Paramount last night. They were all really great. The keyboard guy for KT banged on a trash can lid for the last song, and Collective's lead singer looks like Sammy Hagar now. Between sets I had to pull out the digicam and shoot the amazing ceiling.
