Fred’s Scottish Birthday Party!

Or was that Irish.  I can’t remember.  But it was a lot of fun.  The bagpiper was awesome.  He even played Thunderstruck on the bagpipes!  Bagpipes + ACDC = Bitchin’!

Clayton Beach : Bellingham, WA

Spring has FINALLY sprung in Bellingham.  The warmth of the suns rays boosted the morale of the entire city.  We took advantage of a beautiful Sunday and grabbed some Thai food and headed down to the beach.  Here are some highlights of the afternoon!

Adriana Phillips Art work.

Recently a friend of mine asked me to take pictures of her very cool art that was being displayed at DIGS in downtown Bellingham.  Adriana Phillips is a very creative artist and came up with some really cool peices that were entitled “loopholes.”  Here are some shots of her work.

The Holga Camera Strikes Again!

So I am still playing with my Holga and trying to figure out focus and exposer.  It is really limited but i really like it!  In a way it makes me want to shoot film all over again.  There is no instant gratification.  You have 12 or 16 shots to a roll depending on the setting.  You have to set up the shot just right and you still don’t know if it turned out.  You go to the photo lab, drop it off and anxiously await the results.  I find that there is a little thrill there in the anticipation.

I have been taking a few shots when I am at a wedding and I occasionally pack it with me when I am just out and about.  Here are some results from a recent roll I finished up.

The Taylor Girls

So a few weeks ago my mom had set up a time with me to take pictures of her and my two sisters.  Taking pictures of your own family can be tricky, especially mine.  We are all a bunch of goofballs so it made it a little challenging to get one great shot because someone was making a weird face or goofing off.  So here is what happens when you take pictures of the Taylor Girls.  Melissa’s wedding should be fun and interesting to shoot!  : )

This is exactly what I am talking about.

Pretty Standard. Katie is always good for a cat claw.

You can see this face from Melissa quite often.

This was actually Mom's idea.

Thanks ladies for making thing fun and challenging at the same time!

Love You!

A walk with my kids

The other day I went on a walk with my two youngest kids around our neighborhood. (I have 4. Yes 4. I get that a lot.) All my kids are ham’s for the camera hence these photos. That’s what happens when your father is a photographer, you learn to work the camera. So here are just a few snapshots of Jacob and Jordyn.
