SUCCESSFUL ANIMALS

So I am just mentioning this because I am really excited.  My art show at Rontoms located in Portland, Oregon has been somewhat successful so far.   The show has only been up for a few weeks and I have already sold three prints and seven framed photos.  Before the success of the show I was a little worried that I was the only weirdo that understands my vision.

Not sure if this is coincidence but both buyers are from the bay area.  I am strongly considering making San Francisco the next stop for my next showing.  Anyone know somebody, that knows somebody, that has a friend who met a guy who has a gallery or a nice place to hang some photos of people in animal costumes?

BROKEN RECORD

Hey folks, I don't mean to sound like a broken record but I have more photos to post of Cyclocross.  I believe this to be my favorite set so far.  At some point I will get around to adding Cyclocross to my portfolio website.  If anyone viewing this has a few extra minutes please give me some feedback on the images.  I sometimes need an outside view on my photography to help narrow things down.  Try to pick about 10 images that you think that I should include and list them in the comment section below.  Don't forget to look at previous Cyclocross posts I have put up on here.  I know it's asking a lot...

Cyclocross PIR Portland

I just wanted to share some more Cyclocross photos, these are from the event out at PIR.  I don't really have much to say except that I have met a lot of cool people at these events, and that I love shooting them.  This is like one of the only activities to shoot in Oregon during the winter.

THAILAND SLIDE SHOW FINALLY UP

I took a five week trip to Thailand a couple years back and I'm just now getting this slide show up somewhere that people can view it.  I originally did a presentation slide show a few months after I came back from the trip which had a really great turn out.

Now I would like to share this with everyone who was unable to attend.

Note that the images are in order by event of my trip.  Not all images are "portfolio worthy" but I needed to include the photos that tell the story of my trip.

Sit back and enjoy...

BTW, it's 20ish minutes long, and you might want to let it stream for a few minutes before you click play.

THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!

I just want to thank everyone for coming to my show last night, I had a super duper time.  I saw faces that I totally didn't expect to see.  You guys are all awesome!

I especially want to thank everyone who helped me with this series by wearing an animal suit, helping me build the frames, and being there on shoots with me.

I know the lighting totally sucks in Rontoms so I have created a slide show of the same images plus some extras that didn't make the final art show cut.  The ones that made the cut have a white border.

If you have an extra minute and want to leave a comment or critique about the show please do so below.  Your comments don't have to be about the art; you can say something about an instance that happened at the show or something funny that happened.  If anyone took pictures and would like to post a link to them please do so.

Thanks again...

Cyclocross Hillsborito

I can't believe I just started going to these Cyclocross events, they kick ass.  These events give me an excuse to shoot film, and they are super fun and exciting to watch.  These photos are from the race in Hillsboro a couple of weeks back.  I shot some photos at the event today at PIR in Portland too, stay tuned for those they will be up here in about a week.  Remember I shot film so I have to get that shit developed.

Of course as usual click this image for a slide show.  Cheers...

ART SHOW AT RONTOMS!

 Hey all, come join me for my Character Series art show at Rontoms.  My opening is going to be on Saturday, November 14th from six to whenever.  Rontoms is at 600 E Burnside
Portland.  I should have a DJ there playing music plus I'll be there as well so you can't go wrong.  The art should be hanging there for a month or two but it would be really cool to see you all at the opening.

Cheers...
