Which Way Is Up?


December 12th, 2010


As we head into winter i am reminded of where I was at this time last year. There are Vespas everywhere. This is on the street leading to," The Leaning Tower of Pisa", in Pisa, Italy. As you can see, there is not kidding about the way the tower leans as the foundations sink.

Holy smokes.. Its Been Awhile!



September 13th, 2010

Wow! It has been too long. It has been such a busy summer with a full docket of weddings and other events. It is amazing to see where your time disappears to when you have none to spare! I hope all are still well.

This was taken at a recent wedding with the clouds rolling into Seattle, a few streaks of sunlight we able to seep through.

The Look


May 24th 2010

At Gas Works Park in the late afternoon and evening sun shadows are cast upon the intimidating structures. Last weekend captured this picture from a shoot I was doing and just loved the shadows and the depth of character they added.

The Wonderful World of Pig

May 17th, 2010

If you have been down to Pikes Place, you may want to stop turnaround and look up. Some of the classic scenery of the area is directly across from the market including the original public sanitation building.

Sports In Seattle

May 10, 2010

Unfortunately over the last two weeks I suffered a massive computer crash which required major upgrading and reinstalling. However, after a brief shutdown, I am pleased to present a picture of our beautiful sports complexes in the Seattle area of Qwest Field (the large building on the left), and Safeco Field (to the right with the lights on) along with the magnificent Mt. Rainer in the background. On Friday we saw our first full sunny day since March 6th. Needless to say many folks were out and about on this lovely Mother's Day Weekend.

An Evening With Seattle

April 28th 2010

She calls to you, becons in the night, a silent temptress of unimaginable beauty. From the hillsides to the waterfront, to the downtown enclaves, Seattle calls at every hour. She is a city who puts beauty on notice, and one which is hard to duplicate. There are hundreds and thousands of cities throughout the world, yet she is unique in so many ways. Her eloquent skyline, and rapturous mountain can evoke the deepest of yearnings. She is simply... home.]

Ode to the Louvre

April 19th, 2010


This past Christmas I had the pleasure of visiting this wonderful palace of culture and beauty. It would most certainly make my top ten of things to do on my bucket-list. As the whole of Europe has made the headlines for the last week straight, my thoughts have been drawn there often.

There's No Place like Home

April 12th, 2010

If you have lived in the northwest, or anyplace in the United States of America, it is almost impossible to not know what the game of baseball is. As a child, a ballpark is your palace, it is the king's house, a place where all dreams can come true, where you see yourself leaping the wall to make a game winning catch or hitting the game winning home run over the left field wall. I have visited several ball parks over the years, but there is no place like Safeco Field.


From the moment you drive by on I-5 you can smell the unique aroma of garlic fries and Pyramid Ale. It is a stadium which is unique in its own right; unlike many other stadiums throughout professional sports, there is a not a bad seat in the house, every chair has an unbelievable site line.(Including these ones from the concourse just above the visiting bullpen in left field.)




It is that time of year when every thing is right with the world. When young and old can come and gather in a collective harmony to cheer on the boys in blue and white. It is baseball time in the northwest. Go Mariners!



























There is nothing like that late inning come from behind win, everyone cheers, the rally caps are in full force, from ages 9 to 90 everyone is standing, hearing the crack of the bat.














A Mariners game is not only about the game played between the lines. It is about the experience, the smell of the peanuts, hot dogs, of the fresh cut grass, the game within the game, who is pitching today, is the roof open or closed.















Walking into the gates of Left Field with 10,000 of your closest friends.

Mossy Edge

April 11th, 2010

60 Degrees out! What a great day to get out and explore! Using the light from the center of the trees, I was able to grab the silihouetes of the moss hanging. In Lord Hill Park this seems to be the only area where the trees are blanketed from head to toe in soft hanging moss. If you look closer you can see a spider has also staked its claim to its territory in the upper left center of this picture.

A Running Thought

April 7th, 2010

As spring bears down upon us all, I find myself visiting the usual stomping grounds. It seems there are certain scenes and landscapes which transcend time. Regardless of how many times you visit or see them, Snoqualmie Falls seem to always captivate the imagination.

Above the Clouds


April 3rd, 2010


With a large storm in the Seattle area the last two days we headed across the state for the Easter weekend and as we got through the pass of Snoqualmie, I whipped out my Storm ( for all you IPhone lovers, I love my storm) and snapped this pic above the cloud layer. Hope everyone has a great Easter weekend!

A Truly Northwest Sport

March 1st, 2009

On a cool February evening, this native northwesterner showed what a true northwest sport is, paddle surfing. Using the wake of the incoming ferries, this paddle surfer used the fading twilight as his guide.

Trevi Fountain

February 23rd, 2009

Commissioned in 1629, Trevi Fountain has been a source for practical water, as well as uncountable wishes. There is always a crowd around it, regardless of the time of day, and although hundreds of penny's get thrown in, they get cleared out and donated to local charities, so those wishes do make a difference.

Now that..... That is a Sunset


February 22nd, 2009

Now although it is mid February, one might be tempted to think its mid May and summer is nearly upon us. Yesterday I was able to capture this shot on the shore at Edmonds. We could all use a little reflection time, and there is nothing like a magnificent sunset behind the Olympics to inspire our souls.

Always A Great Time for the Museum

February 17th, 2009

In the midst of winter (although you would be hard-pressed to find someone admitting it was winter here in the northwest today) there are a plethora of museums in the great Pacific Northwest. What a great way to break the duldrum of winter blues, then to get out and go to a museum!

What Do You See?

February 3rd, 2009

As we move through life, it is easy to place watchful eyes on everything around us, from the clothes others wear, to decisions others make in their lives. How easy it is to criticize and ridicule. However, how often do we turn those watchful eyes on our own thoughts, actions, or decisions? I was on a train and snapped this shot with the fading light.

A Sign of the Times?

February 1st, 2009

If you paid attention to the State of the Union Address last week, you would have seen there was going to be $500 million given to Washington, in order to help jump start a high speed rail line between Vancouver, BC and Portland, OR. This business worker was getting caught up on his presentation before work.

Seattle From 3000 Feet

January 27th, 2009

the Olympic Mountain range to your West, the full might of the Northwest captures your soul, to tell you..... "You are home"

How Much Do Your Bags Cost?

January 23rd, 2009

If you have flown anytime in the last 6 months, you know how much it can cost to send your bags along with you on your trip. Although the price of your ticket may be $200, the additional cost for a round-trip for your accompanying bag can easily send the price through the upper $300's. Hopefully you don't break your bank on the next trip!

Pisa Through an Archway

January 13th, 2009

One of the first places I visited on my arrival to Italy was the infamous Leaning Tower of Pisa. In Pisa, this is the only thing within the city, so I am glad we only planned on spending an afternoon there.
