Special Olympics Washington Regionals
April 26th, 2012
So this weekend Saturday was a beautiful sunny day with temperatures making it the warmest day of the year so far. It was also the day that the King County Regional Special Olympics Track & Field tournament was held and I was honored once again to be their photographer. More than 300 Special Olympians and their coaches and families turned out and had a great time. Seattle Seahawk defensive back and special teams captain Roy Lewis made an appearance to help hand out the medals. He was one of a number of local stars that came to help out. It was the few times anyone could remember that it did not rain on the Shoreline Stadium grounds on the day of the track meet. Here are some of my favorite images from the event. If you would like to see all of the photos click here.
Below is a slideshow with some more highlights of the day.
Snoqualmie Falls From Salish Lodge
October 16th, 2011
On Saturday I was covering an event at Salish Lodge and was struck by the view from the room looking out over the falls. What a beautiful spot. It was late afternoon and the sun was getting ready to set but was still spotlighting the hillside above the fall. The falls were going strong with a great volume of water going down. The Salish Lodge is a very inviting place with a great restaurant an I intend to return someday when not covering an event.

Portrait Photography of Large Groups
January 18th, 2010
I am often called upon to make large group portraits an it is always a challenge to make them look great with everybody in the picture looking good with their eyes open and a good expression. It is a challenge just arranging every body and then getting their attention. Since I try to do one everytime I shoot a wedding, I have developed a skill at large group portraits. I usually have a lot of fun and the people do too. And then everyone gets a great picture with all of their co workers or friends or family. This was a san Francisco Wedding at a restaurant and we moved some tables and chairs and got everyone in the photo. Photograph by wedding photographers Daniel Sheehan, a Seattle photographer who specializes in people and portraits and travels everywhere to shoot weddings in a photojournalist style that is real, straightforward, subtle and unobtrusive.

The Earshot Jazz Festival is in it’s final week and so I am looking forward to staying home in the evenings starting next week for a least a little while. It has been a lot of fun covering the festival. I have seen and heard a lot of different styles of mostly jazz being played but the music of Wayne Horvitz was something very special.

A Throw of the Dice

I was out on the Skansonia last week on assignment to cover a night out for a local business and one f the diversions they had hand were some gaming tables. I caught this fellow as he unloaded the dice in a long runs of collecting a pile of chips. A great night out for all.
Seattle Editorial Photographer
February 9th, 2008
For my first try at blogging, I thought I would just test the waters and be frank. This blog is all about me. I found this mirror a couple of years ago and made this photo thinking someday it would find a home. Well, this seems to be a good place for it.
I was hoping to find a blog template that would let me use bigger pictures but for now this will have to do.
Welcome to my blog.
Here is another photo I shot recently and thought I would put it out here.
