See the Trees
I get to wander through my personal work every so often, and every time I get inspired - it's not a question if the work is amazing or ground breaking, or even if anybody else likes it - it's that something resonates within me about the work. I try to do the Winogrand thing - which in my humble interpretation is separating the act of
taking the photo from the photo itself. These were shot at Silver Falls State Park in Oregon, on an overcast day in early June.

I was asked to contribute to Spring 2007 issue of Photo Media Magazine, for their "Shot in the Back" section. We talked about various images [PBR Buttcrack almost made it] and chose this image, shot for the 2005/2006 Oregon Ballet Theatre campaign. I really like this image - it's got a great location, punchy lighting, a story and a fantastic moment for the dancers. To see this season's work in action you can head over to OBT.org. I'm also please to announce that I will be showing 15 fine art prints from my OBT-Backstage series, here in Portland. For April they will be at the B-Street Gallery as part of a group show put on by the Pointe Society, and then for May it will be a solo exhibit at the Art Bar.
And yes, of course the work is for sale - the prints are beautiful 13" x 20" archival epson prints, on one of my favorite papers–Hahnemuhle Fine Art Pearl–and were printed by the fine craftsmen over at Pushdot Studio.

FEED Update: I illustrated a short story for a good friend, and it's now live on the web - Go read Closet of Love, by Dylan Lee, and check out my lightbulb photo! (Secret Technique: I photographed the lightbulb on a wall - so much easier)Labels: ballet, lightbulbs, obt, trees
