A few weeks ago I got to shoot "Arroyo" @moskomoto 's new luggage color way. This is one of those shoots where the scouting, the weather, and having a solid game plan all aligned. It was a mad dash to get product detail shots, product hero shots, and the more wild product floating shot between golden hour and sunset.
A few weeks ago I drove out to Central Oregon to photograph Patrick Gruhn for @managermagazin . Patrick purchased John Jacob Astor IV's pocket watch at auction as a gift for his wife after she developed an interest in the history of the Titanic. Astor was the wealthiest passenger on the Titanic at the time it sunk and the watch was recovered from his body after it was found. #portrait #titanic #watch #pocketwatch #johnjacobastoriv
" Imaginary airships inspired by the seed dispersal strategies of trees native to the Pacific Northwest are anchored within the station, suggesting a new mode of transportation ready to take off. These fictional vessels celebrate the unique characteristics of local flora and the environmental benefits of mass transit." -Nova Jiang
A few months ago I got to photograph this installation titled "Air Grove by artist @hellonova
These airships hang in the Marymoor Village Transit Station in Redmond, Washington. I lucked out and got the perfect winter sunset for the dusk shots.

New work shot for the New York Times "The Hunt" feature out today. This Portland family bought a century old classic Portland home that the previous owner redid with a bunch of Japanese inspired classic woodwork. Thanks again for the assignment @ystender and for the assist @cameronmunn .
A few weeks ago I traveled down to San Diego to photograph this gorgeous installation by artist @hellonova at San Diego Airports brand new Terminal 1.
"Torrey Pines, 2025
Artist Nova Jiang’s monumental hanging sculpture is inspired by the rarest pine species in the United States: the Torrey Pine (Pinus torreyana), found almost exclusively along the San Diego coast. These resilient trees are shaped over time by relentless ocean winds, their sculptural branches bending away from Pacific storms. Historically, they’ve held significance for the region’s Indigenous people, including the Kumeyaay, who used the pine nuts for food, the long needles for weaving, and the sap as adhesive. Today, the Torrey Pine remains a powerful symbol of endurance and adaptation.
The artwork echoes the sculptural forces of nature with artist-made forms derived from Jiang’s experimental observations of the tree species. The final wind-swept canopies are formed from 927 gold-mirrored stainless-steel panels, suspended by 331 cables. Although stationary, the elegant, twisted shapes convey a sense of movement and energy. The shimmering gold surfaces reflect and refract light, evoking the delicate balance between nature and human imagination, resilience, and transformation. - San Diego International Airport
What an amazing two nights of music in Portland celebrating The Sophtware Slump's 25th anniversary. I was shown this record by a guy I was working construction with in the Eastern Sierras. We would commute every week from the Bay Area out over Sonora Pass. I have fond memories of warm summer days, windows down, cruising through The Dardanelles, yellow wildflowers flying by as this record was on constant rotation. It sounded great back then and even better live decades later. #grandaddy #sophtwareslump
I had the pleasure of photographing Latino Network's new community center La Plaza Esperanza over a 6 month period this year. This community center designed by @zgfarchitects "has created a new home base for a broad slate of services, including a preschool, afterschool services and programming that will range from youth violence prevention to career coaching, leadership training and cultural performances." #portland #oregon #architecture #latinonetwork #laplazaesperanza #zgf #communitycenter #masstimber
Last Friday night I unexpectedly found myself at the Crooked River Roundup in Prineville, Oregon. A beautiful night with great people watching. Sometimes having a little pocket camera on you works out. #oregon #rodeo #prineville #crookedriverroundup
