Corporate Executive Portrait
February 22nd, 2012
Recently I had an assignment to photograph Marco Abbruzzese, an executive with Wells Fargo Bank. Although we were 40 stories high up over Puget Sound, there was no view of Elliot Bay since we were completely fogged in. I had been hoping to use the view of the Bay but instead discovered that I actually like the intense studio quality of the pure white light coming in through the fog.

Chilly Morning
January 27th, 2012
I took out our border collies, Charlie and Luna for a run and ball toss and it was cold. Temperature was 32F and there was frost everywhere. Almost fell down after slipping on some black ice in the parking lot.
Olympics Across the Puget Sound
January 3rd, 2012
I was out at the Seattle Art Museum’s Olympic Sculpture Park over the weekend. I love the view of the Olympics across the Puget Sound in winter with lots of snow covering the tops and interesting cloud formations.

Portrait of a Banker
December 5th, 2011
I had a recent assignment to photograph Dean Bennion, an executive at the Wells Fargo Bank. I love the low intensity of the light over Puget Sound. The bay can be seen out his office window with the Olympic Mountains off hidden in the clouds. In Fact there was rain over most of the horizon. The sky was a mass of clouds. Except for off in the souther end of the Olympics, the sun was trying to get through under the clouds. What a great view from above 40 floors over Elliot Bay.
Election Night 2011 – Tim Burgess Wins 2nd Term in Seattle City Council
November 9th, 2011
Above is Seattle City Councilman Tim Burgess being interviewed by a local TV station on Yesler Way Tuesday night, outside City Councilwoman Sally Clark‘s election party at Merchant’s Cafe. Burgess was commenting on his re- election victory and the passing with a strong margin of the Families and Education Levy which he supported. I had an excellent time yesterday on election night, following around Seattle City councilman Tim Burgess who cruised to victory in his re-election to another 4 year term. The first results were announced around 8:15PM. They indicated he had the lead with 81% of the votes over opponent David Schraer.
Earlier in the evening, Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn, Tim Burgess and other Seattle officials supporting the Families and Education Levy, gathered at Elysian Fields. Since there was not a dedicated TV broadcast concerning the election results the had to and search on their smartphones for the first word on the first results of the election being announced which was supposed to be at 8:15PM. Members of the media were assembled in the restaurant waiting to hear their reaction to the results.

Salmon Bay Graduation Class of 2011
June 21st, 2011
Last night, the 8th grade class of Salmon Bay School had their graduating ceremonies at Ballard High School Auditorium. What an event. Very few parents and teachers in the audience did not need a kleenex. My daughter Ema was one of the students who gave a speech with her friend Amelia.
Here are a few highlights of the evening. There is also a web gallery with a more extensive set of pictures. Click on Salmon Bay 2011 Graduation to view the remaining 480 (or so) images.
And, again – to see a lot more pictures here is a link to view the entire web gallery.
Bellevue Jazz Festival
June 8th, 2011
Last weekend was the annual 2011 Bellevue Jazz Festival and I was once again asked to photograph the event by the producers. Here are a couple of my favorite images so far in my editing of the pictures. Above is a shot of the amazing bassist Evan Flory-Barnes with his group Threat of Beauty as part of the 2011 Bellevue Jazz Festival last Thursday. Also in the group is Jason Holt on drums and and Jacques Willis on Vibes. Here are a few images from their performance which I throughly enjoyed.
Preeminent violinist Regina Carter put on a fascinatingly beautiful performance last Weds night as she and her band kicked off the opening performance of the 2011 Bellevue Jazz Festival at the Theatre at Meydenbauer Centre. Almost every performance I covered was a joy to hear.
